About Zelimna
Zelimna Taveras is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of counseling experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.
She has worked across age groups and settings, including children, adolescents, and adults, as well as with families affected by trauma. Her background includes work with at-risk youth, social services, children with special needs, and homeless families. That experience informs how she notices patterns and practical obstacles in everyday life.
Zelimna blends cognitive tools and attachment-focused ideas in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-informed techniques to look at how early relationships affect current reactions.
She integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises to teach emotion regulation and grounding strategies. For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and conflict moments. The emphasis is on small, doable changes rather than sweeping fixes.
Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what triggers strong feelings, and what the person wants to try differently. Zelimna works in English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LMHC. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that fuel anger and to practice testing new responses. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps like tracking triggers and trying small behavioral experiments. She also draws on Attachment-Based approaches to look at how past relationships shape reactions; this can help when anger links to feeling abandoned or controlled.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that match their goals and daily life. That means checking in about which skills feel useful and adjusting focus as things change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let people work without commuting. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt DBT skills practice and mindfulness exercises to remote appointments so skills can be practiced between meetings.
