About Peggy
Peggy Cahue-Kuipers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anger and related struggles. She draws on straightforward approaches to reduce stress and improve everyday functioning. Peggy writes in plain terms and focuses on small, doable steps clients can use between sessions.
She has 16 years of experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
Peggy also supports people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and life transitions. Anger and control issues are among the specific areas she addresses alongside family of origin themes and codependency. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and clarity.
Peggy listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try different responses. She mixes skills practice with conversations about values and long-term goals so progress feels relevant to everyday life. Peggy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods.
These approaches guide how she helps people manage emotions, shift unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen relationships. Her work is grounded in respect and a belief that change takes time and commitment. Peggy aims to make therapy a practical part of a person’s routine, with tools they can use outside sessions to handle stress, cravings, anger, or major life changes.
She offers services in English and provides remote session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches for managing anger and emotion online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes because it focuses on what matters most rather than on symptom control alone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change reactions and behavior, which can reduce angry outbursts and improve coping in stressful situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peggy will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people practice skills in real time while seeing visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter exchanges, ongoing coaching, or follow-up between appointments. These options give flexibility to use therapy in ways that match schedules and comfort levels.
