Chantal Peloquin , LMHC

Chantal Peloquin brings a broad and integrated approach to mental health care built on more than a decade of clinical experience. She earned a Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2010 from American International College and holds an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. In practice she has worked with adolescents and adults across a wide range of settings, including the juvenile system, state and foster care, parole services, outpatient and residential programs, and with individuals who have intellectual or developmental disabilities or dual diagnoses.

Her work blends evidence-based therapies with holistic and somatic methods. Chantal specializes in mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral strategies, somatic exploration, transpersonal care, and inner-child or shadow work to support healing from trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and relationship challenges. She also integrates alternative modalities such as Reiki energy work and autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) when appropriate, offering a flexible set of tools that respond to each person as an individual.

Chantal emphasizes that there is no single right path for everyone. She approaches each case with sensitivity and respect, tailoring interventions to the unique needs, history, and strengths of the person she is supporting.

Integrating Evidence-Based and Holistic Approaches for Online Care

Chantal uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors in ways that improve daily functioning and mood.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can support clients dealing with trauma responses, chronic stress, sleep difficulties, and challenges with emotional regulation.

Chantal approaches therapy in a client-centered way, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work. She collaborates with each person to find the methods that best fit their needs, combining talk therapy, somatic exploration, and complementary practices when useful. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Chantal helps clients experiment and refine strategies together.

Online therapy with Chantal is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the communication style that best matches the client’s needs.
