Leslie Mulligan, LCMHC, LCPC

Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor who helps people facing mood and relationship challenges. She brings 24 years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks English and French. Her work includes supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, health challenges, and changes in relationships and life stages.

Leslie uses a warm, direct, and interactive style. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical ways forward. She draws on mind-body perspectives and creative tools to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Her background includes work with military service members, first responders, and people recovering from combat and sexual trauma over a ten-year period. That experience informs a trauma-sensitive stance in her practice. She also addresses chronic illness, aging, and caregiving strain alongside emotional and relational concerns.

Leslie blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and emotion-focused work. She listens for what matters most, then offers skills and reflections to support clearer decisions and steadier moods.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation focused on goals and small changes that add up. Leslie invites people to explore their values, cope with life stressors, and rebuild intimacy and meaning in daily life.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and trust. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete techniques for changing unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve connection and closeness in relationships.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust approaches and try techniques that fit the person’s life and needs rather than forcing a single model.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also let people continue care while managing chronic health issues or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, CBT, and emotion-focused work to a remote setting so clients can practice skills and review progress between sessions.
