About Peggy

Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and sleep and eating concerns. Peggy aims to help people find practical ways to feel better and move forward.

Her approach centers on listening and working with people where they are. Sessions are grounded in client-centered care and draw on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to address thoughts, behavior, and values. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when useful.

Peggy often helps people facing addiction, grief, family and origin issues, low self-esteem, and trauma-related concerns. She supports those coping with life changes, career questions, and communication or commitment struggles. She also addresses aging and geriatric matters and challenges linked to codependency and control issues.

Therapy is presented as a collaborative, step-by-step process. Peggy works with clients to set clear goals and practice real-world skills between sessions. She describes therapy as an active effort that asks for openness and regular work.

Her background includes many years helping people build coping skills and recover a sense of agency. Conversations in sessions focus on problem solving, emotion regulation, and restoring day-to-day functioning. Peggy welcomes questions about the process and encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with core emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges arise.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can be useful because it makes scheduling easier, helps fit sessions into a workday or caregiving routine, and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT techniques to work well in remote settings while helping clients practice skills between meetings.
