Therapeutic approaches and online care
Leslie Mulligan uses several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior; it can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, intimacy, and family issues by strengthening emotional security and connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore values, identity, and life changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, mood concerns, stress, and coping challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leslie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy reflects what matters most to the individual.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and access across locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and work with licensed professionals from wherever clients are located.
