About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor who aims to help people restore better sleep and more balanced days. She brings a direct, warm presence and practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship and sleep concerns. Leslie works with individuals across a wide age range, as well as couples and groups, to address mood shifts, grief, and life-stage changes.
With 24 years of experience, Leslie uses straightforward conversations and hands-on strategies. Sessions are present-focused and interactive, often blending talk with creative or body-centered techniques. She places attention on how daily habits, relationships, and physical feelings affect sleep and daytime energy.
Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas and client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused practices. That mix helps people understand thinking patterns, build emotional connection, and try new behaviors that support rest and regulation.
Leslie's background includes work with military personnel, first responders, and people recovering from trauma. She describes her style as trauma-sensitive and nonjudgmental, aiming to clarify where someone is in their life and what steps feel doable next.
She values cultural sensitivity and a holistic view of health - mind, body, heart, and spirit. Conversations often include practical sleep strategies, coping skills for anxiety, and steps to improve relationships that interfere with rest.

How Leslie’s Approaches Shape Online Care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships affect feelings and sleep. This approach helps people notice patterns in closeness and safety, which can make it easier to change nighttime worry or reactive sleep habits.Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people understand what gets in the way of rest and daily balance.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep and mood. It teaches concrete skills - like restructuring unhelpful worries or changing bedtime routines - that people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

It also makes ongoing work with a licensed professional more practical for people living outside the therapist's immediate area.
