About B.
B. Winnifred Cazeau brings a history of hands-on helping to her therapy work. She trained in social work and has practiced for 13 years, guiding people through major life shifts and parenting challenges.
She uses clear, respectful conversation to help people find practical steps forward. Winnifred says people are the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on goals you set together, using straightforward strategies and small experiments to see what works.
Background and approach
She combines coaching and counseling to address issues that get in the way of daily life. Her background includes work in crisis counseling, family preservation programs, advocacy, and clinical supervision. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland and maintains licenses as LICSW and LCSW-C, with practice in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Her experience spans grief, trauma, depression, ADHD, and parenting concerns. In the room she leans toward concrete tools - skills to manage anger, routines to support caregiving, or steps to address communication and co-parenting stress. She also helps people sort career and self-esteem questions when those areas affect home life.
Conversations are direct, with practical takeaways to try between sessions. Winnifred offers services in English and Haitian Creole. Her work often intersects with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and the stress that caregivers face.
People who want clear guidance and steady support tend to find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values and then take committed steps toward what matters. It is useful for issues like parenting stress, anxiety, and making life changes by clarifying priorities and building small habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anger, low self-esteem, and day-to-day coping strategies.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Sessions can shift over time if different tools feel more helpful, and you decide what to focus on each week.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions fit when bandwidth or cameras are limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to use therapy in ways that suit your schedule and needs.
