About Leslie Mulligan
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor with more than 24 years of clinical experience who works with individuals ages 14 to 90, as well as couples, families, and groups. She supports people coping with mood instability and a wide range of life challenges, including relationship, intimacy, and family conflicts; health, sleep, and career stress; aging, death, and bereavement; and questions related to sexuality, life stage, and spiritual concerns. For a decade she provided combat and sexual trauma recovery services to active, reserve, and guard service members, their families, and first responders.
Her counseling style is warm, direct, present-centered, creative, and interactive.

As a holistic, body-centered practitioner she attends to mind, body, heart, thought, spirit, and life experience as contributors to well-being and meaning. Her aim is to help clients move toward their own sense of 'there'.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop in close relationships. It helps clients explore how early and current attachment experiences shape emotional responses and relationship needs, often improving intimacy and trust issues.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers acceptance and understanding. This approach supports self-exploration, strengthens self-esteem, and is useful for people adjusting to life changes or seeking clearer personal direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that examines how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions. It helps clients develop strategies to manage anxiety, mood instability, and stress, and to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Leslie works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options help clients maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, mobility, or geographic distance, and allow therapists to tailor appointment styles to what works best for each person.
