About Zoila
Zoila (Mimi) Danta helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings nearly four decades of hands-on experience. People come to her with relationship troubles, parenting concerns, substance issues, grief, and difficulties with self-worth.
Mimi aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy lives. She uses clear approaches like cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused work. Sessions focus on small, doable steps so people see progress between meetings.
Background and approach
Mimi writes individualized treatment plans that reflect each person’s goals and situation rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist. Mimi has worked in DUI programs providing education, individual therapy, and group work for people with substance use problems. She has also directed quality assurance for state and county programs, checking that services met legal and program standards.
Her background includes training other therapists in ethics, assessments, group therapy, and treatment planning. Her practice is informed by long experience with adults and older adults, and by time supporting people who have faced domestic violence, family conflict, and foster care systems. She emphasizes respect for cultural differences and listens for what matters most to each person.
In sessions she combines empathy with clear feedback and practical tasks. The goal is to help people regain control, improve relationships, and manage emotions. Mimi encourages those who feel stuck to reach out and begin with one small step.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Zoila (Mimi) Danta uses cognitive behavioral methods that help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often includes simple practice tasks between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that get in the way.She also uses solution-focused therapy which zeroes in on strengths and practical solutions. That approach helps set clear, short-term goals and identify small changes that lead to visible progress in relationships, work, or daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mimi will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest a path that feels manageable. She adapts methods as needed so each plan fits your life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have real-time conversations and see facial cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping tools, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel.
