B. Winnifred Cazeau, LICSW, LCSW-C

B. Winnifred Cazeau brings more than a decade of clinical experience to her work. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland in Child, Adolescent, and Family Health and holds licenses as an LCSW-C in Maryland and an LICSW in the District of Columbia. People sometimes call her Ms. Winnie. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting clear goals, and taking practical steps toward change. She mixes counseling and coaching to help people move from stuck to active problem solving. Her background includes crisis counseling, directing a family preservation program, advocacy, and clinical supervision. That variety shapes a flexible approach to challenges like trauma, depression, grief, and anger. She also supports people facing family changes, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and hoarding. She uses several therapy styles, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods help with issues such as self-esteem, career choices, relationship patterns, parenting stress, and attention challenges like ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Her practice operates in Maryland, and she combines counseling with leadership and training work to support clients who want practical, goal-oriented help.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then tests new ways of thinking and acting to get different results. It often helps with mood, stress, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and support so clients can explore their goals and make choices at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Together they try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit better around busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let conversations continue between in-person visits. Licensed professionals often use these formats to help clients practice new skills in everyday life and keep momentum toward goals.
