About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor based in Maine who works with adults and couples on relationship, mood, and life-change concerns. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and a direct, compassionate style to sessions. Leslie speaks English and French and aims to help people find steadier ground during stressful times.
Her work focuses on practical, present-centered steps that feel doable day to day. She uses conversation, skills practice, and creative tools to address anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating concerns, and problems with intimacy or communication.
Background and approach
Leslie also supports people facing grief, illness, career strain, and the challenges of aging. Leslie blends Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when helpful, and incorporates body-aware and expressive methods to help people reconnect with their feelings.
Sessions aim to clarify goals, reduce reactivity, and strengthen close bonds. Her style is warm, direct, and interactive. She describes her approach as trauma-sensitive and nonjudgmental, helping clients name what matters and practice new patterns.
The work is collaborative - Leslie helps people set manageable steps between sessions. Leslie has provided trauma recovery services to military members and first responders in past roles, and she brings that breadth of experience into individual and couples work. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and online options
Leslie often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns in close relationships and feel more supported with others. This approach looks at how past and present bonds affect current reactions and helps build new ways of relating.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. That approach supports self-directed change by creating space to name values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete behavior changes for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The first sessions are often exploratory to find what feels most helpful.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when they want deeper conversation; phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when someone needs flexible, on-the-go support. These formats aim to make regular work on goals easier to fit into busy lives.
