About Peggy
Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Peggy uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage daily strain and make steady progress toward goals.
She blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools to create a plan that fits each person's life. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing skills between meetings.
Background and approach
Peggy helps clients cope with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, anger, and major life transitions. Her approach also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, blended family concerns, and commitment or communication problems. She works with people facing aging and geriatric issues, dissociation, and substance use concerns.
The focus is on practical steps clients can take to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Peggy describes therapy as a collaborative process that takes time and effort. She emphasizes respect and dignity in sessions and helps people set realistic, meaningful goals.
Clients can expect clear explanations of methods and concrete strategies to try between sessions. For parents dealing with behavior, boundaries, or the stress of caregiving, she offers guidance that translates to home routines and clearer communication. Peggy supports coaching-style work as well as traditional talk therapy to help people make measurable changes.

Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that lead to distress. CBT suits depression, anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and many everyday problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and validation so clients feel heard while deciding what to change.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in practical life situations.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and keep progress moving forward.
