Zoila (Mimi) Danta, LMHC

Zoila (Mimi) Danta is a licensed mental health counselor with 39 years of experience. She offers bilingual services in English and Spanish and works with adults and older adults. People contact her for help with stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, depression, relationship and parenting struggles, and life changes such as grief or career shifts.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify patterns, test new behaviors, and set manageable goals. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings and on building skills for everyday life.

Ms. Danta’s background includes directing DUI education programs and running quality assurance for state and county services. She has led groups, trained other clinicians in ethics and treatment planning, and worked with people affected by domestic violence and substance use. That experience informs how she plans treatment and runs group work.

She emphasizes respect, empathy, and cultural awareness in all interactions. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s situation and adjusted as needs change. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances problem-solving with emotional support.

People interested in bilingual services or help with midlife transitions, addiction, grief, or family-of-origin issues may find her practical approach useful. For international clients, sessions are offered as noted on the platform. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Zoila (Mimi) Danta uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in clear, action-focused ways. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and short-term goals, helping people identify what is already working and build on it to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try strategies that fit your situation. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and focused on practical next steps.

For online work, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also support continued work during life transitions or when managing responsibilities at home or work. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pace to client needs so therapy fits into everyday life.
