About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people navigate strong emotions and life transitions. She draws on 24 years of practice to help clients manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and shifts around health or aging. Leslie speaks English and French and works with people in Maine as well as international clients.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions are present-centered and often practical. She uses creative tools and invites people to notice how thoughts, body sensations, and relationships shape daily life.
Background and approach
Leslie blends several ways of working to match a person’s needs. Existential therapy helps with questions of meaning and life direction. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships.
Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She describes her style as warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. Mind-body connections and wellness practices are woven into the work when they fit.
Trauma-sensitive care and attention to sexuality, aging, and bereavement are also part of her background. Clients can expect a collaborative pace, with practical skills and reflective conversation. The goal is clearer choices, steadier mood, and more satisfying relationships.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session according to therapist availability.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people name what matters to them and face life's big questions. Online sessions can be useful for exploring meaning, life direction, loss, or major transitions. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect trust and intimacy. It helps people notice relationship habits and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your concerns and work together to choose methods that match your goals and comfort level. That collaboration may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time based on what helps you most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be used for short check-ins, written reflection, or when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity, and use therapy in ways that fit everyday life.
