Leslie Cullen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Washington with 30 years of clinical experience. As a licensed mental health counselor in Washington (license LH00004269), she has extensive training working with diverse populations, including people with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders.
Her approach centers on the present moment and practical ways to introduce lasting change. She primarily employs cognitive and behavioral techniques while integrating current neurological findings that relate to mental health. Insight and reflection are encouraged through mindful attention to the here and now, which helps clients identify their needs and wants more clearly.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For most common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that best fits their needs and schedule - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to keep therapy integrated into everyday life.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they want a different fit. For those addressing common mental health challenges, online therapy offers an accessible, evidence-supported option to pursue personal growth and coping strategies.
