About B.
B. Winnifred Cazeau begins from a clear purpose: helping people move toward goals that matter to them. She is known professionally as Winnifred Cazeau and brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work.
She holds LICSW and LCSW-C credentials and practices in Maryland. Her approach centers on practical steps and steady support rather than perfection. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside issues like self-esteem, depression, career changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also addresses adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and common relationship struggles such as communication and commitment issues. Parents and caregivers often seek her help when life changes feel overwhelming. In sessions she uses straightforward methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
These methods are used to clarify values, shift unhelpful thoughts, and set small, achievable goals. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to support momentum and problem solving. Winnifred values the client as the expert on their own life and emphasizes strengths.
She offers counseling, coaching, and training with a practical focus. The tone is collaborative - she listens, helps set priorities, and coaches toward manageable change. Her background includes leadership roles in family preservation, crisis counseling, advocacy, and clinical supervision.
She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland in Child, Adolescent, and Family Health and operates Perfect Imperfection, LLC, which offers counseling and training.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take values-driven steps even when feelings are hard. It is useful for family stress, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce patterns that keep problems going and is often used for depression, anxiety, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions; this is helpful for building self-esteem and working through relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try methods that fit the situation and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people connect from home or other locations. The variety of formats also allows the therapist and client to pick what works best for session type, whether that means a focused conversation by phone or ongoing coaching through messages.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
