About Peggy
Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on practical help for stress and anxiety. She draws on 16 years of experience to guide people through hard moments. Peggy aims to create calm and clear steps so clients can manage symptoms and move forward.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely, helps people name what matters, and practices skills that can be used between appointments. That mix supports change in thinking, feeling, and behavior. Her work covers many concerns including depression, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, anger, and career or life transitions.
She also helps people facing family of origin problems, codependency, communication or commitment issues, and struggles with guilt or shame. Peggy emphasizes gradual progress over quick fixes. She encourages people to try small, repeatable steps and notice what changes.
Therapy is framed as a collaborative effort that asks for effort and honest reflection. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Peggy supports people who want steady, practical work on anxiety, stress, and related concerns.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often includes exercises people practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) explores emotions and attachment-style patterns to improve how people relate to themselves and others; it can help with relationship stress and intimacy concerns.Peggy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try methods that fit a person's goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to choose techniques that match what a person wants to change and what feels doable for them.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for ongoing coaching, brief updates, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life and to continue progress between appointments.
