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. She has 13 years of clinical experience helping adults with family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, depression, relationship issues, grief, parenting, anger, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Winnifred draws on practical counseling and coaching skills to help people sort through patterns that trace back to the family they grew up in. She listens for recurring roles, communication habits, and expectations that still affect choices today. Conversations focus on real situations - what happens at home, at work, and in close relationships - and on tools that can be used afterward.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland with a focus on child, adolescent, and family health. She also has experience as a crisis counselor, director of a family preservation program, advocate, and clinical supervisor. Those roles inform a straightforward approach to practical problems.
In sessions she may combine methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. The work often mixes short-term goal setting with skills practice for communication, boundaries, and emotion regulation.
People who come to her often want help untangling family-of-origin patterns, managing caregiver stress, addressing blended family issues, or coping after separation and loss. She offers coaching-style supports alongside counseling to help people move toward clear steps and decisions.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for people who want to reduce avoidance and take small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change feelings and results. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and everyday problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions and build confidence in decision making.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest one or a mix of approaches. That collaborative process helps shape what a short plan might look like and which skills to practice between sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days, and reduce travel time. They can also make it easier to schedule a session during a lunch break or between errands.
