About Zoila
Zoila (Mimi) Danta is a licensed mental health counselor who speaks English and Spanish. She brings 39 years of clinical experience and a steady, practical approach to sessions. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or parenting challenges.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens for the real day-to-day problems a person faces and helps build steps they can use right away. Sessions often include short-term tools as well as plans tailored to longer-term goals.
Background and approach
Over nearly four decades she has worked in a range of settings, including oversight roles for DUI programs and quality assurance work with state and county services. That background means she knows how treatment plans and community resources fit together. She has also provided education, group therapy, and individual therapy for people dealing with substance use and related concerns.
Mimi has trained other clinicians on ethics, treatment planning, assessments, and group work. She was a certified domestic violence assessor and group facilitator, and has spent time supporting adults and older adults in clinical care. Her approach is rooted in respect for cultural differences and practical strategies clients can try between sessions.
People come to her for help with coping during life changes, grief, communication problems, codependency, and issues tied to family of origin or fatherhood. She aims to walk alongside clients as they try new ways of handling problems and rebuilding steadiness in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Zoila (Mimi) Danta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that are easy to use in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test small changes and notice different results. It often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions by teaching practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what the client wants to see happen and builds quick, step-by-step plans toward those goals. This approach is useful for managing stress, improving communication, and making progress when time or resources are limited. Sessions tend to focus on concrete next steps rather than long explorations of the past.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick or combine methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means plans can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video makes it easy to read nonverbal cues, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These options help fit counseling into work, caregiving, or busy days.
