Chantal Peloquin

Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and practices in Massachusetts. Chantal combines practical therapy methods with a broader, person-focused perspective to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone.

She uses several evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify small, useful shifts that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. Chantal also weaves in somatic exploration and transpersonal ideas when they fit a person’s needs.

Many people come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, or loneliness. Chantal pays attention to how life events, attachment patterns, and physical symptoms can affect mood and relationships. She frames problems in clear real-world terms and works on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her background includes experience across outpatient, residential, and systems-involved settings such as foster care and parole. That work informs a flexible style that adapts to different life situations. She aims to meet people where they are and respects individual pacing.

Chantal encourages collaborative goal-setting and blends structured skills with reflective conversation. People who want a mix of practical tools and deeper personal work often find this approach useful. For those wanting to address isolation or loneliness, she focuses on small, concrete changes to daily routines and social habits.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them. It can help with feeling stuck, low motivation, and making day-to-day choices that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and sleep. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, trial methods, and adjust what they do together based on what helps. That means starting with what feels manageable and changing course if needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. It also supports continuity of care for people who live far from Massachusetts or who travel, since Chantal accepts international clients. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
