About B.

B. Winnifred Cazeau is a licensed clinical social worker with thirteen years of practice as a therapist. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland focused on child, adolescent, and family health. She runs Perfect Imperfection, LLC, and combines counseling, coaching, and training in her work. Ms. Winnie's approach treats each person as expert in their own story and builds on strengths to support change.

She uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help people clarify values and make steady changes. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding internal motivation to try different behaviors.

Her background includes crisis counseling, directing a family preservation program, advocacy work, and clinical supervision. The blend of roles gives experience with urgent situations and longer-term family concerns. She also holds leadership training through the John Maxwell program.

People commonly bring issues such as family stress, self-esteem challenges, career decisions, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and grief. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and hoarding. Sessions also address parenting stress, anger, commitment and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. She is licensed in Maryland as LCSW-C and holds LICSW in the District of Columbia. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life. It helps when someone feels stuck or unmotivated and wants to act in ways that match what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical strategies. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and habit changes, offering concrete skills to try between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard while they find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for processing emotions and building self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Then they will suggest methods to try and check in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also let someone attend sessions while managing work or family commitments without changing their day significantly.
