About Chantal

Chantal Peloquin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and a range of mood and adjustment concerns.

She trained at American International College where she earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology in 2010. Over the years she has worked in outpatient and residential settings and with people who have faced complex life situations and co-occurring challenges. This experience informs a practical approach to day-to-day problems.

Chantal uses several well-known therapeutic methods including acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness-based techniques. In sessions she mixes talking, skills practice, and sometimes body-aware noticing to help people manage strong emotions and impulsive reactions.

People come to her for help with anger that shows up at home, at work, or as built-up resentment. She focuses on concrete strategies such as recognizing triggers, learning grounding and breathing tools, and testing new, smaller behaviors that change how stress gets expressed.

Her work also addresses longer-term patterns like attachment wounds, self-esteem, grief, chronic health challenges, and addiction-related stress. Chantal encourages clear goals and steady steps so progress feels visible and doable.

To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that align with what matters. It can help when anger is driven by stuck thinking or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which is useful for impulse control and workplace or relationship triggers. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple noticing and breathing practices to lower arousal and make clearer choices in the moment.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as new problems or strengths show up.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, or offer a quieter check-in when someone has limited time. They also let a therapist guide in-the-moment skills practice, such as breathing drills, grounding exercises, and brief behavioral experiments that can be done between sessions.
