About Peggy
Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and other life changes. Peggy focuses on practical conversation and concrete steps rather than abstract labels.
She uses several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she helps people name what feels off, try new ways of responding, and practice skills that fit their daily life. Her work often covers issues like self-esteem, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating patterns, anger, and career transitions.
Peggy also addresses family of origin concerns, codependency, communication problems, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and drug and alcohol addiction. She supports people dealing with emptiness, guilt, shame, forgiveness, blended family matters, and aging or geriatric questions. The focus is on tangible tools and clearer next steps rather than long academic explanations.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Michigan. She asks people to expect that therapy takes time and effort, and to come prepared to try strategies between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, emptiness, or avoidance are getting in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change moods and routines; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the persons experience and uses reflective listening to clarify what matters and build motivation for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peggy will discuss these methods with each person and together they will pick what seems most helpful for the concern, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change. The process is collaborative and practical, with room to try one method and adjust if it doesn't fit.
The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals use these benefits to help people practice new skills in real life and keep momentum between sessions.
