About Zelimna
Zelimna Taveras is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who speaks English and Spanish. She brings eight years of counseling experience and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Zelimna aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through stress, sleep problems, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, and relationship or identity concerns.
She draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide sessions. That means sessions often include learning new coping skills, noticing thought patterns, and practicing mindful moments to reduce overwhelm.
Zelimna has worked with children, adolescents, and adults across many family contexts, and has experience with trauma, grief, and people facing instability. Her background includes work with social services, youth at risk, and families dealing with housing challenges.
In session she focuses on clear goals and usable tools. Parents can expect help with parenting stress, managing sleep or eating concerns, and improving communication. Individuals may work on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or coping with life transitions.
Zelimna emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. She supports people who want to learn skills and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, respond to closeness, and build steadier bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That might mean starting with CBT skills for sleep and anxiety, then adding attachment work to address relationship patterns, or using DBT techniques when emotions feel hard to manage.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep progress steady. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, learning skills without travel, or fitting therapy into a break at work. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice and help track sleep, mood, and coping strategies between sessions.
