About B.
B. Winnifred Cazeau is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the District of Columbia with 13 years of social work experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as issues like depression, trauma, relationship problems, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Ms. Winnie frames the client as the expert on their own life. She works in a direct, practical way to help people identify strengths and take steps toward manageable change. Her background includes crisis counseling and supervising clinical work, and she draws on that experience when situations feel urgent or overwhelming.
Her training and roles have included work in family preservation programs, advocacy, and leadership training. That mix informs a straightforward style - listening first, then suggesting concrete techniques drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods also guide shorter, goal-oriented conversations.
People reach out to her for many reasons: parenting strain, adoption or foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, grief, anger, and problems with communication or commitment. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, codependency, hoarding, and the fallout from domestic violence or divorce.
Practical steps are a regular part of sessions. She helps people set small goals, try new behaviors, and check what works. Initial appointments include time to clarify the most urgent concerns and to plan what comes next.
How sessions work
How Winnifred uses ACT, CBT, and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect personal values. It is often used when someone wants clearer direction despite stress or low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce depression, anxiety, or anger. It is practical and problem-focused, useful for everyday coping and routines. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience and pace, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what is most important to the client.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to select methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques across sessions as goals evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients use different tools from session to session, such as structured worksheets, value-mapping exercises, and brief coaching between longer appointments.
