About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, mood instability, grief, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as sleep and eating problems, intimacy issues, career stress, and questions around sexuality and aging.
Leslie uses practical conversation and interactive exercises to help people notice and change recurring patterns. She draws on attachment-based ideas to name how early family roles influence present relationships. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to track thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Emotion-focused and dialectical strategies are added when feelings need clearer expression or regulation.
Her background includes work with military service members, first responders, and adults managing trauma recovery. That experience informs a trauma-sensitive way of working that aims to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Her practice also pays attention to how physical health, sleep, and chronic illness interact with mood and coping.
Sessions are conversational and often include skills practice, brief experiments, or reflection between appointments. Leslie speaks English and French and accepts international clients. She prefers clear goals and collaborative planning so each person can track progress over time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early family roles shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions use conversation to map those patterns, notice triggers, and practice different ways of relating to others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behavior. In remote sessions this often means short experiments between appointments, tracking thoughts in real time, and reviewing results together to adjust strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on presenting concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. Plans are adjusted as issues change over time.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives - for example shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or conversations that use fewer visuals when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic skills online to work on relationships, mood, and coping, while adapting exercises so they fit the client's daily routine.
