Chantal Peloquin , LMHC

Chantal Peloquin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience who blends evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic methods. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from American International College in 2010 and also holds a Reiki Master certification. An LMHC indicates a licensed mental health counselor qualified to provide psychotherapy and mental health support.

Her career has included work across a wide range of settings and populations, including adolescents and adults, the juvenile system, state and foster care, parole, services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, outpatient and residential programs, and support for individuals with dual diagnoses. This breadth of experience informs a flexible approach to care that meets people where they are.

Chantal specializes in holistic-focused care and draws on mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, somatic exploration, transpersonal methods, and inner-child and shadow work to support healing and growth. She integrates traditional, evidence-based interventions with alternative practices such as Reiki energy work and autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) when appropriate. Recognizing that each case is unique, she tailors treatment plans to individual needs with sensitivity and respect for personal experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Chantal frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and skills to reduce emotional reactivity; mindfulness work can support regulation, stress reduction, and greater self-awareness. In addition, Chantal employs client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s own experience, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chantal takes a collaborative stance, exploring each client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting methods over time to find what fits best. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that draws from different modalities when appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for accessing this kind of care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness exercises, and client-centered work effectively through these formats, supporting consistent progress from a range of locations and circumstances.
