About Zoila
Zoila (Mimi) Danta is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 39 years of experience. She works with adults and older adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship problems, parenting stress, grief, and family of origin issues. She speaks English and Spanish and has worked in both clinical and program leadership roles.
She has experience providing individual and group work in settings that included DUI programs and foster-care services. Her background includes roles as a program director and as a director of quality assurance for state and county programs. In those capacities she handled training, treatment planning, assessments, and compliance with federal and state rules.
Mimi uses practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, skill building, and short-term strategies to manage symptoms and handle everyday problems. She also draws on her experience leading groups when group-based work fits the client’s needs.
Her work has included domestic violence assessment and group facilitation, and she has trained other clinicians on ethics, treatment planning, and assessment. She aims to respect cultural differences and to respond to each person’s concerns with straightforward attention to their situation.
People who come because patterns from their family of origin still affect decision-making, relationships, or parenting often work on changing habits, improving communication, and building coping skills. The first sessions typically clarify goals and identify a few practical steps to try between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood or substance-related triggers. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps toward clear goals and can be helpful when someone wants quicker changes or tools they can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Then she will suggest which methods to try and adjust the plan as you go, so the work stays practical and collaborative.
The original biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week or to have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a licensed professional without geographic travel, while keeping the focus on useful skills, clearer communication, and steps to change patterns rooted in family of origin.
