Chantal Peloquin , LMHC

Chantal Peloquin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a sixteen-year career providing clinical care across a wide range of settings. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from American International College in 2010 and also holds a Reiki Master certification, which reflects additional training in energy-based healing methods.

Her experience includes work with adolescents and adults, involvement in the juvenile system, collaborations with state and foster care programs, engagements with parole services, and clinical roles addressing intellectual and developmental disabilities. She has provided services in outpatient and residential settings and has supported clients with dual diagnoses. This breadth of experience informs a flexible, trauma-aware approach to treatment.

Chantal integrates evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapies with mindfulness practices and somatic exploration. She also uses client-centered and transpersonal methods alongside alternative techniques like Reiki and autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). Her practice addresses a broad set of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related challenges, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Chantal emphasizes individualized care, recognizing that no single method fits every person. She brings sensitivity to attachment patterns, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, communication difficulties, substance use concerns, family dynamics, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose exploration, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and somatization. Her work is informed by a holistic orientation that blends practical, evidence-based interventions with somatic and experiential techniques to meet each client where they are.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit is flexibility - individuals can choose the mode of connection that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistency in care while juggling work, family, and other commitments.

Licensed professionals deliver therapeutic services through these channels, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical, effective way to access skilled therapists without the constraints of travel or scheduling difficulties.
