Chantal Peloquin , LMHC

Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 16 years of clinical experience who blends evidence-based methods with holistic practices to support recovery and growth. She holds an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and completed a Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2010 at American International College. Her training and broad clinical background inform a flexible, person-centered approach that honors each individual’s unique needs.

Throughout her career she has worked with a wide range of populations, including adolescents and adults, those involved in the juvenile system, individuals in state and foster care, people on parole, and clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Her experience also spans outpatient and residential settings and work with dual diagnoses. Chantal specializes in areas such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep disturbances, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her clinical style combines mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, somatic exploration, transpersonal and inner-child work, and shadow processing. In addition to evidence-based treatment, she integrates alternative modalities including Reiki energy work and autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) when appropriate. Chantal emphasizes individualized care, recognizing that there is no single path that fits everyone and offering sensitive, respectful support tailored to each case.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take meaningful action. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and life transitions where learning to live with discomfort supports forward movement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It provides practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, and many everyday challenges by teaching new coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of experience, which can reduce emotional reactivity and improve emotion regulation for stress, trauma recovery, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chantal works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors a blend of methods that fits the individual rather than applying a single technique to every case. This collaborative exploration helps determine what feels most effective and sustainable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from a distance while preserving the therapeutic relationship and regular progress.
