About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges. She is Leslie Mulligan, LCMHC, LCPC, and brings 24 years of experience to sessions in Maine. She offers support in English and French and is available to international clients as well.
Leslie uses a somatic-informed approach that pays attention to how the body stores experience. She combines that with attachment-based ideas and client-centered care to create practical, person-focused sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations are grounded, direct, and tailored to the individual’s needs and goals. Her work often addresses mood instability, intimacy and communication struggles, grief and life-stage transitions, sleep and health concerns, and stress related to work or caregiving. Leslie also supports people facing trauma histories, addiction, and challenges linked to identity and relationships.
She draws on a variety of methods so sessions can include talking, skill practice, and body-focused noticing. Leslie values clear, honest connection and cultural sensitivity during therapy. She aims to help people build daily habits that ease symptoms and improve relationships.
Her style is interactive and practical, with attention to both thoughts and bodily experience. To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Leslie blends approaches for online care
Leslie uses somatic-informed work that notices how the body holds stress and emotion, helping people reconnect physical sensations with thoughts and feelings to reduce overwhelm. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating and communicating.She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s perspective, pacing, and goals. Together these approaches support practical change and help people feel understood. Finding the right blend is a joint effort - the therapist will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods based on the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Leslie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during moves or travel, and choose the format that feels safest for emotional work. Leslie works with clients to pick the best session type and rhythm to match their goals and daily routine.
