About Chantal
Chantal Peloquin is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 16 years of clinical experience to her practice in Massachusetts. She uses a mix of body-aware work and evidence-based talk therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood problems, and life transitions. Chantal aims for practical, steady change that fits each person's life and priorities.
She trained at the master’s level in clinical psychology and holds the license MA LMHC 8175.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in outpatient and residential settings and with people who have complex, overlapping needs. That variety informs her flexible approach to care. In sessions she combines somatic exploration with therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
That means noticing bodily responses alongside thoughts and behaviors, and learning skills to respond differently to pain, worry, and overwhelming feelings. Chantal pays attention to attachments, rhythm, and the everyday tasks of getting through life. She also supports people facing grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, chronic pain, substance concerns, and difficulties with self-worth or isolation.
Her style is collaborative and grounded. She works at a pace people can manage and helps them build concrete tools for daily life. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their needs.
Body-aware and evidence-based approaches for online care
Somatic work brings attention to bodily sensations and movement to help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body. It can be useful for trauma, chronic pain, and anxiety when words alone don’t capture what someone is feeling.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then taking actions that match personal values. This approach helps with worry, low mood, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. Together with somatic and ACT methods, this creates a pace that fits each person’s needs.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, symptoms, and comfort level, and will adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These options let people connect from home, use shorter contacts when needed, and keep continuity if schedules or locations change.
