As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My practice centers on helping clients address stress, anxiety, communication difficulties, and profound life changes with compassion and expertise.
Drawing from a deep understanding of multicultural experiences, I provide culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique journey. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting older adults, veterans, women, and individuals facing chronic health challenges or experiencing isolation.
I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore sensitive topics like life purpose, guilt, shame, forgiveness, and family dynamics. My therapeutic work emphasizes healing from past experiences, building resilience, and developing meaningful coping strategies.
With a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, I strive to empower clients to reconnect with their inner strength, navigate complex emotions, and create positive transformation in their lives.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Winifred Cooke-Freeman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Win is a compassionate and understanding professional. From the very beginning, she showed genuine empathy as I navigated significant emotional challenges related to the current events in our country that were affecting my mental health. She taught me practical strategies and coping mechanisms that have helped me manage life more effectively. I deeply appreciate her support and encouragement and will truly miss our weekly meetings.

Working with Winifred has been incredibly eye opening for me. She has this great balance of hearing me, extracting the "why" or the emotions behind it and then challenging me to show up for myself or in other ways in order to move through the situation effectively.. I feel so seen and understood by her. She has made one of the most stressful times of my life feel not so intimidating.

Wini is by far the best therapist I’ve had, and I’ve had my fair share. She is wise, kind, and encouraging.

When I signed up for Better help, I never went to therapy but my girlfriend suggested it so I went all in. I described the help I needed and was matched up with Winifred Cooke-Freeman.
She has been a Godsend, we have navigated and are navigating through the issues I am having and she has given me some new tools that are working. I love the fact that she listens and she keeps it real.
I am looking forward to more sessions with her.
