Chantal Peloquin , LMHC

Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and Reiki Master who combines evidence-based care with holistic practices to support clients through a wide range of life challenges. With 16 years of clinical experience and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology earned in 2010 from American International College, she has worked across settings that include juvenile systems, state and foster care, parole, outpatient and residential programs, and services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and dual diagnoses.

Her clinical approach blends mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral techniques with somatic exploration, transpersonal methods, and inner-child and shadow work. She integrates alternative interventions such as Reiki energy work and ASMR where appropriate, while remaining grounded in evidence-based treatment. This combination allows her to address issues like trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and relationship or family concerns with both practical strategies and deeper experiential work.

Chantal emphasizes individualized care and respects that each person’s path to healing is unique. She tailors treatment to clients’ needs, preferences, and life circumstances, approaching each case with sensitivity and a holistic outlook that honors both psychological and somatic dimensions of healing.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Care

Chantal draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors by teaching concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

She also weaves mindfulness therapy into her work, guiding clients to develop present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and sensations. Mindfulness supports coping with trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation and often complements other therapeutic tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Chantal works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and needs change.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from home or while traveling. These options allow clients to engage in skill-building, reflective work, and therapeutic conversation in formats that suit their schedules and comfort, while maintaining the same clinical focus they would expect in-person.
