About Zoila

Zoila (Mimi) Danta brings a calm, direct approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 39 years of experience and speaks English and Spanish. Mimi aims to make the first steps feel simple and doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She has worked across settings including program direction, DUI education, individual and group therapy, and services for older adults. That background informs practical strategies for substance-related concerns, domestic violence, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting stress. Mimi uses clear language and a respectful tone in sessions.

Mimi draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy and adapts plans to each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on identifying concrete patterns, testing small changes, and building manageable coping steps. She also provides group facilitation experience that shapes her work with people who benefit from structured learning.

Her approach emphasizes cultural awareness and treating people with sensitivity and compassion. She has experience training other clinicians in ethics, assessment, and treatment planning, and in oversight roles that emphasized program quality and legal compliance.

Mimi invites people to walk through problems together rather than face them alone. If you want support for anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting strain, or life transitions, she offers steady guidance and practical tools.

Using CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online

Zoila (Mimi) Danta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach breaks problems into smaller parts and tests simple changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and substance-related habits.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify goals and build on strengths people already have. This approach centers on what is working now and on small, practical steps toward a preferred future, which can be useful for relationship challenges and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mimi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she will adjust plans as progress is made.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking.

Mimi’s focus online is the same as in person - clear goals, practical steps, and steady support to help people move forward.
