Zoila (Mimi) Danta, LMHC

Zoila (Mimi) Danta is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who speaks English and Spanish. She brings 39 years of experience helping adults and older adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Her work includes support for substance use concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and caregiver stress. She has long experience running programs that included education, individual care, and group work for people with addiction concerns. That background informs how she structures sessions and groups around clear goals.

Zoila draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create simple, goal-oriented plans. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Treatment plans are adapted to each person’s needs and pace.

She has held administrative roles overseeing program quality and has taught other therapists about ethics, treatment planning, group work, and assessment. That experience shapes a practical, organized approach to care and record keeping.

People who choose her often want a counselor who listens, shows cultural sensitivity, and offers concrete steps to move forward. She works from Florida and communicates in English and Spanish to support diverse clients, including attention to aging and geriatric issues when relevant.

How her approaches translate to online care

Zoila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit online work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical steps and strengths to reach clear, short-term goals, which can be especially useful when time is limited.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions often start by setting one or two achievable targets and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, allow brief check-ins, or reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use these practical conveniences to help therapy fit everyday life while focusing on clear, measurable steps toward improvement.
