About Chantal
Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of practice based in Massachusetts. She holds an MA and practices as an LMHC. Chantal brings long-term clinical experience to sessions and aims to make therapy clear and straightforward for people dealing with strong emotions.
Chantal focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and mood concerns. She also supports those navigating trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and life changes.
Background and approach
Her work pays attention to how the body and emotions interact, and she uses talk-based and mindfulness methods in sessions. Her approach blends practical strategies with acceptance and present-moment awareness. Clients learn tools for handling difficult thoughts and urges, and for reducing impulsive reactions.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based practices to build meaningful action despite hard feelings. Chantal values a tailored plan for each person. She listens for what matters most, then builds step-by-step goals that fit daily life.
Sessions may include emotion regulation skills, grounding techniques, and short behavioral experiments people can try between meetings. People who prefer an open, respectful style find her approachable. She aims to explain concepts plainly and help people practice new habits that reduce overwhelm.
Work often centers on clearer communication, better sleep habits, and managing anger and impulses in useful ways.

How Chantal Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing values-based actions. It can help people who struggle with avoidance, rumination, or the urge to act on intense emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related patterns. Mindfulness Therapy builds present-moment awareness through simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they try tools and adjust the plan so strategies fit daily life and real-world stressors.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
