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 matters, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and ADHD. She also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.
Ms. Cazeau approaches sessions with practical conversation and goal-oriented steps. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions can include straightforward coaching and counseling techniques to help people manage change and day-to-day problems.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland in Child, Adolescent, and Family Health. She has worked as a crisis counselor, directed a family preservation program, served as an advocate, and held roles as a clinical supervisor. She also runs Perfect Imperfection, LLC, offering counseling, coaching, and training.
In sessions she draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take actions aligned with those values. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques support short-term goal setting and movement toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Ms. Cazeau uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, then practicing different ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday problem solving. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and take small steps toward valued actions, which can help with stress and life changes.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the person to test methods, see what fits, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That process usually includes short-term goals and practical homework or experiments to try between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practice notes sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weeknight or a lunch break and can allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Therapists can also adapt exercises for phone or lower-bandwidth video when that helps someone participate.
