Leslie Mulligan

Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, relationship struggles, mood instability, and career concerns. She works with adults and adolescents and supports clients through grief, trauma, sleep and eating problems, and questions about sexuality and life stage. Leslie speaks English and French and brings 24 years of experience to each session.

Her style is warm and direct. Sessions are present-centered and interactive, with a focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Leslie uses a body-centered perspective alongside talk therapy to address how physical experience and emotion connect.

Leslie blends several practical approaches to meet a client's needs. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and emotionally-focused work to deepen connection and emotional awareness. She also integrates mindfulness, art-based tools, and wellness strategies to make therapy concrete and usable in daily life.

Her background includes work with people affected by combat and sexual trauma, first responders, and those coping with chronic illness and aging. That experience informs an approach that aims to be trauma-aware and respectful of each person's history. Leslie emphasizes clear goals and skills people can try between sessions.

How Leslie’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps identify patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior. In online sessions this approach can clarify how past relationship experiences shape current work, family, and romantic interactions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection. That method supports people who want a collaborative space to talk through career choices, life-stage changes, or emotional challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Practically, CBT in sessions leads to specific exercises and small experiments clients can try between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Leslie will discuss what seems most helpful based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy day, reducing travel time, or allowing a shorter check-in when a full session isn't needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling rhythms that fit work, family, and daily life.
