About Chantal
Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of clinical experience in Massachusetts. She holds a Master of Arts in clinical psychology and uses a down-to-earth style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD, and parenting challenges. Chantal speaks English and welcomes people from outside the U.S. for online work.
She focuses on practical tools and steady support. Sessions often include exercises to reduce overwhelm, build better routines, and manage mood and sleep.
Background and approach
She blends mindfulness, cognitive work, and skills-based strategies to help people make small changes that add up. Chantal has worked in many settings, including outpatient and residential programs, and with people navigating the juvenile and parole systems and foster care. That background shaped a flexible approach to complex situations and co-occurring issues such as chronic illness, substance use, trauma, and mood disorders.
In sessions she pays attention to how stress shows up in the body and in daily life. She uses client-centered conversations to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and set realistic goals. She also includes acceptance and values-based strategies to support lasting change.
Parents often come for help with sleep, behavior concerns, communication problems, and parenting stress. Chantal offers short-term solutions and longer-term work aimed at improving relationships with self and others. She supports people through grief, life transitions, and rebuilding confidence after hard experiences.

Approaches that fit online parenting and life work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for parenting stress and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood shifts by teaching concrete skills and practice exercises.
Mindfulness Therapy supports learning simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. These techniques pair well with skills-based approaches to help with stress, anger, and overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life demands, and together they decide which strategies to try first. This collaborative process includes checking progress and shifting plans when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or on-camera time is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between full sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
