About Zelimna

Zelimna Taveras draws on an integrative, evidence-informed approach that blends cognitive and relational methods to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Fluent in English and Spanish, she frames work around practical skills and attachment-focused understanding to help clients manage symptoms, improve communication, and navigate difficult life changes. Her practice emphasizes trauma-informed care alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness strategies, making space for issues such as depression, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD.

Zelimna has substantial experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults affected by trauma, adoption and foster care dynamics, homelessness, and other complex stressors. She aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic alliance that centers client strengths and collaborative goal-setting.

In sessions she integrates motivational techniques and solution-focused perspectives to help clients develop coping tools, improve relationships, and move toward stability. Prospective clients can expect a warm, bilingual clinician who prioritizes clear goals, practical interventions, and steady support through periods of transition and healing.

Integrative approaches for online healing and growth



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns influence current connection and emotional responses; it helps people identify relational triggers and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills to reframe thoughts and develop healthier coping strategies, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first sessions she will discuss options, set clear goals, and adjust strategies as work progresses so treatment feels tailored and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or ongoing family obligations. These formats allow continuity of care across distance and provide multiple ways to access support, skill-building, and regular check-ins from a licensed professional.
