About Chantal
Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor with sixteen years of clinical experience. She trained at American International College and holds an MA and the LMHC credential. Chantal draws on both evidence-based therapies and holistic ideas to help people facing stress and anxiety.
She prefers a straightforward, practical style in sessions. Chantal listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce worry and improve day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Chantal also integrates acceptance and commitment ideas and some dialectical behavior strategies. These approaches help people tolerate strong feelings, build skills for emotion regulation, and reconnect with important values. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that adapts to each person’s needs.
Her background includes work in outpatient and residential settings and experience with people managing addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and complex medical or developmental needs. That variety shaped a flexible, person-focused approach that balances practical skill-building with attention to life meaning. Sessions are offered from Massachusetts and are conducted in English.
Chantal is open to working with international clients and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Chantal commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based methods. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep anxiety and depression going. Mindfulness work focuses on learning simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when hard feelings are present. ACT can help when avoidance keeps someone stuck and when the goal is to build a life that feels meaningful rather than trying to get rid of every unwanted thought.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques and adjust the plan together. Clients have a say in whether sessions emphasize skills training, values work, or mindful awareness.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
