About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a Maine-based therapist with 24 years of clinical experience who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, and major life changes. She greets clients with a direct, warm style and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Leslie uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs.
She draws on hypnotherapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be interactive and tailored to the problem at hand rather than one-size-fits-all. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, addiction-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic illness and pain, and challenges tied to sexuality and identity.
She also supports people facing career strain, caregiving burdens, compassion fatigue, and major transitions tied to aging or loss. Leslie describes her approach as body-centered and trauma-sensitive. She blends talk therapy with creative, mindfulness, and wellness techniques to help clients notice what matters in their daily life and build coping strategies that fit.
The process emphasizes clarity about goals and steady steps toward them. She offers services in English and French and has experience working with military veterans, first responders, and a wide range of adult life stages. Practical collaboration and respect for cultural differences guide her sessions, with attention to both immediate relief and longer-term growth.

Approach and Online Options for Therapy
Leslie integrates hypnotherapy, attachment-based therapy, and client-centered methods to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Hypnotherapy is used to increase focused attention and support habit change or symptom relief through guided suggestion and relaxation. Attachment-based work explores patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current interactions and emotional responses. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients set the pace and goals for their work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Leslie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, life situation, and preferences. She adjusts tools over time so sessions remain practical and relevant to what the client wants to accomplish.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller interaction for deeper work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not desired. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
