Chantal Peloquin, LMHC

Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology in 2010 and has provided counseling across a range of care settings. Chantal brings a holistic perspective to people facing everyday and complex challenges. Her work combines mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and addictive behaviors. She also uses somatic exploration and inner-child work when that fits a person's needs. Chantal describes her approach as flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. Chantal has experience in residential and outpatient settings, and in systems such as parole and foster care. That background informs how she supports people navigating trauma, grief, and major life changes. She also works with issues like chronic illness, pain, and co-occurring concerns. In sessions she focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings. That can include mindfulness practices, behavior-focused exercises, and values-based planning. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning. People come to Chantal for a range of matters including parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, sleep disruption, and work-related stress. She also supports those facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her style is collaborative and grounded in observable tools.

How her approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps when people feel stuck by teaching acceptance of hard feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance, which can help with stress, chronic pain, and mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she will suggest methods to try and adapt them as the work progresses so the plan fits the client’s life and needs.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they rely on conversations and home practice assignments, such as CBT worksheets or mindfulness exercises. Talk with the therapist about pacing, practice between sessions, and how to structure meetings to match everyday routines.
