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 clinical experience. She focuses on family concerns, self-esteem, career issues, depression, coaching, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She speaks English and Haitian Creole.
Ms. Cazeau approaches sessions by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She notices strengths and uses them to address problems that keep showing up. Her background includes work as a crisis counselor, director of a family preservation program, advocate, and clinical supervisor. That experience shapes how she organizes practical support.
In sessions she blends straightforward tools and conversational problem-solving. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolbox for setting goals and tracking progress.
People come to her with anger that shows up at home or work, persistent resentment, or stress from caregiving and blended family challenges. She also supports those coping with adoption or foster care issues, divorce, and grief. She aims to help clients find clearer choices and concrete steps forward.
Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online therapy options.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This can help with anger that keeps leading to the same problems and with making small changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It suits someone who wants specific tools to reduce reactivity or manage mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide the work; it helps people clarify goals and feel heard.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce barriers like travel time. Phone sessions can be useful when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred, while video lets the therapist and client read facial cues. The therapist will discuss which option best supports the practical goals you bring to sessions.
