Leslie Mulligan, LCMHC, LCPC

Leslie Mulligan, LCMHC, LCPC, works with adults and older adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life-stage changes. She also supports people dealing with mood instability, addiction, sleep and health challenges, and concerns tied to aging and geriatric issues. Leslie speaks English and French and brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work in Maine.

Leslie uses a warm, direct, and present-centered style. Sessions are interactive and often include creative or body-centered methods alongside talk therapy. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused ideas to help people make practical changes that fit their lives.

Her background includes a decade providing trauma recovery services for military members, veterans, and first responders. This experience informs her trauma-sensitive way of working with people who have lived through combat, sexual trauma, or other severe stressors. She aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to manage everyday demands.

Leslie describes her work as holistic, addressing mind, body, thought, and spirit together when useful. Sessions focus on clarifying the current stage of life, setting concrete goals, and building skills for coping and connection. She emphasizes respect, honesty, and cultural awareness in therapy.

People who work with Leslie can expect a collaborative process. Conversations are guided by each person’s needs and goals, whether the focus is on relationships, career stress, aging concerns, or rebuilding after loss. She invites prospective clients to connect and see if her style fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior; it can help with trust, intimacy, and repairing connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance, giving people space to find their own solutions and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. Clients can expect to discuss what feels most useful and to adjust techniques over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t possible. Some formats also make it simpler to use exercises, worksheets, or mindfulness practices between sessions. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how to shape sessions to match work, family, and health needs.
