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 issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting challenges.
She trained at American International College, earning a master’s degree in clinical psychology in 2010, and has a long history working in varied settings. Her background includes outpatient and residential care and work with people involved in the juvenile system, foster care, and parole. That range shaped a practical approach to common life problems.
In sessions she uses a mix of evidence-based methods and experiential practices. You will find cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Chantal also integrates somatic work and inner-child exploration when it fits a person’s goals.
Her style aims to be direct and practical. She focuses on clear strategies you can use between sessions, such as breathing and grounding techniques, thought records, and stepwise behavioral changes. She also talks with people about patterns from attachment and past experiences that keep problems repeating.
People contact her for help with anger that shows up at work, in close relationships, or as sudden outbursts. Her work blends short-term problem-solving with deeper processing when needed, and she helps clients set realistic next steps for managing emotions and everyday stressors.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take committed actions toward those values while learning to tolerate uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for chronic worry, anger that gets in the way of goals, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers specific exercises to change patterns. CBT is practical for reducing recurring anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness; these tools often pair well with CBT or ACT for emotional regulation.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that match those needs. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions focus on skills training, behavioral experiments, or deeper processing such as attachment-related material.
Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Some people choose audio-only meetings for lower bandwidth or video for visual cues; the therapist can discuss what will work best for each person.
