About Peggy

Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She draws on 16 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and anger. Peggy aims to make therapy a practical process that helps clients solve problems and move forward.

Peggy uses person-centered ideas and cognitive-behavioral tools to guide sessions. She focuses on clear goals and teaches skills people can use outside of therapy. Sessions often include mindful noticing and strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her work covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping and eating struggles, and career or life transitions. She also supports people coping with family of origin problems, codependency, control issues, and guilt or shame. Treatment is presented in plain, straightforward language so clients know what to expect.

Peggy describes therapy as a time-taking commitment that asks clients to be willing to seek and accept help. She emphasizes dignity and respect while helping people identify practical steps toward their goals. Her approach is collaborative and focused on the client’s needs.

Clients who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, anger, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build insight and confidence.

Peggy approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant to everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help make sessions fit a busy schedule by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting conversations happen from a familiar setting. It can also make regular practice of skills easier between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in ACT and CBT to work well over remote sessions, keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
