About Zoila
Zoila (Mimi) Danta is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who speaks English and Spanish. She brings 39 years of experience helping adults and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, substance concerns, and life transitions. Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people find practical steps forward.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. That means she helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, realistic changes that can shift daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions often include clear goals and concrete strategies to practice between meetings. Her background includes leadership roles running DUI education programs and overseeing quality assurance for state and county services. That work involved providing individual and group therapy, plus teaching other clinicians about ethics, treatment planning, and group facilitation.
Those experiences shape a structured, experience-informed approach in her practice. Mimi has extensive experience working with people affected by domestic violence, substance use, and family stress. She supports those dealing with grief, anger, intimacy concerns, abandonment, and caregiver strain.
Her approach pays attention to cultural differences and to each person’s individual needs. Clients can expect practical conversation, straightforward problem-solving, and a focus on small steps that build toward larger change. She encourages collaboration and keeps treatment plans tailored to the person in front of her.

How her approaches work online
Zoila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that lead to distress and then practice different behaviors and thoughts. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and many everyday challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal oriented; it helps clients identify small, concrete changes and track what works from session to session.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is good for fuller conversation and reading body language, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people touch base between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and work routines while maintaining continuity of care.
