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 anger, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood instability, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and career stress, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and French, and she accepts international clients.
Leslie uses straightforward, present-focused conversation that is also creative and interactive. She blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with attachment-focused and emotion-centered work. She brings practical tools alongside discussion so clients can try different ways of responding to strong feelings.
Her background includes a decade providing trauma recovery services for military members, veterans, and first responders. That experience informs work with trauma, abuse, and dissociation while keeping attention on current life tasks. She also helps people dealing with chronic illness, aging, bereavement, and sexuality concerns.
In sessions she is direct and nonjudgmental. People can expect help clarifying what matters now, identifying patterns that fuel anger or resentment, and practicing new responses. The focus is on skills people can use between sessions.
Leslie names attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused approaches among her tools. She emphasizes body-aware methods and practical strategies for mood regulation. Clients who prefer therapy in French may request that language for their work.

How sessions work
Approach-focused online work and practical skills
Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses. It helps people notice where they seek closeness or push others away, which can be useful for anger and intimacy problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep strong emotions active and offers practical experiments to change them. These steps often target sleep, mood swings, and daily anger reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the experience of emotion in relationships and helps people identify, name, and respond differently to intense feelings to reduce cycles of blame.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide what methods to try based on their goals, history, and what feels doable. That could mean practicing DBT-style skills for emotion regulation one week and using CBT techniques for thought patterns the next.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets therapists use in-session coaching, emotion labeling, and homework reviews that translate directly into daily life. The focus remains on practical tools and relationship patterns rather than promises of a particular result.
