About Zelimna
Zelimna Taveras is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings eight years of counseling experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Zelimna focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and the effects of trauma and loss.
Her approach blends practical, skills-based work with attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at emotional bonds and how they affect trust and intimacy. Zelimna often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. These tools can be useful for people facing mood challenges, anger, or trouble managing strong feelings.
She also applies elements of the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are a focus. She has experience supporting parents dealing with parenting strain and helping people navigate grief, eating or sleeping concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Zelimna’s background includes work with adolescents and youth affected by trauma and with people facing adoption, attachment, and abandonment issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she provides a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options. Zelimna aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients learn concrete strategies and gain steadier emotional footing.

Online approaches that teach emotion regulation and connection
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand patterns around trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment so they can make different choices in relationships and intimacy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real experiences. It teaches practical steps to change behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger through concrete exercises and homework.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skills, attachment work, DBT strategies, or mindfulness practices to create a tailored plan.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and longer therapeutic work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging fits quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family demands while keeping consistent access to support.
