About Chantal
Chantal Peloquin draws on 16 years of clinical work to offer steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood struggles. She holds an MA and is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts. Chantal focuses on clear goals and simple steps people can use between sessions.
Her background includes work in outpatient and residential settings and with people who have complex needs. That experience shapes an approach that balances evidence-based tools with attention to each person’s life story.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how physical pain, fatigue, and life changes affect emotional health. In session she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help clients clarify values and take small actions that matter.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when intense emotions or impulsivity make daily life harder. Chantal aims to make therapy straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and offers specific skills to practice.
Sessions often include short exercises, skill coaching, and planning for real-world steps between appointments. She works with concerns such as depression, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting stress, sleep problems, chronic illness or pain, substance use, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients by online formats.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Chantal commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based work to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to build calm, practical habits. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress, chronic pain, and emotional overwhelm.She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients clarify values and commit to small actions that matter. ACT supports people who feel stuck by encouraging them to accept difficult feelings while moving toward a valued life. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are used for full sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
