About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan, LCMHC, LCPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, mood changes, relationship strain, or life transitions. She speaks English and French and brings 24 years of experience to conversations about grief, sleep and eating struggles, addiction, career pressures, and questions around intimacy and identity.
Her style is warm, direct, and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that make daily life easier. She uses creative tools and body-centered practices alongside talking to help people feel steadier in their moods and relationships.
Leslie draws on several approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally focused methods. She mixes these to match each person's needs rather than following a single formula. That means therapy can include emotional processing, skill building, or hands-on exercises depending on what helps most.
She has long experience supporting people after trauma, including combat and sexual trauma care for military members and services to first responders. That background informs a trauma-aware way of working that aims to reduce reactivity and increase safety in relationships.
Leslie describes her work as respectful and honest. She pays attention to body, thought, feeling, and spirit when helping people move toward clearer goals and a steadier life. To begin, she invites potential clients to connect and see if her approach fits their needs.
Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early and current relationships shape feeling and behavior. It can help people understand patterns that affect closeness and conflict. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and understood first, which helps people find their own answers and build greater self-trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches clear skills for changing patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or problematic behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit goals, life demands, and personal preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building, shifting to deeper emotional work, or combining methods over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others like audio-only sessions for a simpler check-in. Licensed professionals tailor the session structure so therapy fits everyday life and the goals you bring.
