Peggy Cahue-Kuipers, LPC

Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a licensed mental health professional, with 16 years of experience supporting people through stressful and life-changing moments. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addictions, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and the everyday strains that interfere with wellbeing. Peggy emphasizes practical problem solving alongside personal growth, helping clients identify manageable steps that move them toward greater functioning and a fuller sense of possibility.

She views therapy as a process that takes time and commitment and approaches it as a collaborative effort for people who are ready to ask for and receive help. Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused ideas, mindfulness practices, and internal family systems perspectives, and she has also received training in EMDR. Peggy describes her approach as holistic and aims to treat each person with dignity and respect. She believes everyone deserves an opportunity to grow and change, and she looks forward to supporting those who seek to live their best life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Peggy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on building a meaningful life rather than eliminating all uncomfortable experiences.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, offering tools clients can apply between sessions.

In addition, Peggy practices client-centered therapy, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where each person’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Peggy collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming a single path forward.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, supporting consistent engagement and offering different ways to communicate that fit individual comfort and schedules.
