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 and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, and challenges tied to family of origin issues.
Peggy uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns that keep recurring. She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take workable steps toward change.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills and short-term strategies as well as looking at longer-standing patterns. Peggy will talk through problem-solving, communication habits, and coping tools for anger, substance use, or relationship stress. She also addresses issues like codependency, commitment concerns, and blended family dynamics.
Her approach mixes supportive listening with active techniques. She introduces exercises people can try between sessions, such as behavior experiments, grounding practices, and value-guided goals. For those working through painful memories or intense reactions, she can include approaches that target processing and emotional regulation.
Peggy asks for commitment to the process and works at a pace set by the client. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the online options to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Peggy uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Peggy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people name their values and take small, workable steps that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and making choices that matter instead of trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with real-life experiments. CBT gives concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many everyday stresses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peggy will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape what happens session to session and what exercises to try between meetings.
