About Zoila
Zoila (Mimi) Danta is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 39 years of experience. She works with adults and older adults on practical problems like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish to match client preference.
She has a long history working in substance use treatment, including directing DUI programs where she provided education, group work, and individual therapy. Her background includes experience with foster care youth and many years overseeing quality assurance for state and county programs. That work involved training other therapists in ethics, assessment, group methods, and treatment planning.
Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she uses straightforward techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and to set small, achievable goals that reduce conflict and stress. Treatment plans are adjusted to the person’s needs and circumstances.
She has also served as a domestic violence assessor and group facilitator, and she brings familiarity with family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and other challenges that commonly link to anger and relationship problems. Her practice reflects attention to cultural differences and respect for each person's situation.
People seeking help for built-up resentment, frequent outbursts, trouble communicating, or stress tied to caregiving or substance use will find an experienced counselor who focuses on practical steps. The first conversations focus on current problems and clear, achievable next steps.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Zoila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and actions that fuel anger. CBT sessions focus on identifying triggers, testing beliefs, and practicing small behavior changes to reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress through steps that feel manageable and practical.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean using CBT strategies for thought patterns at first, then shifting to solution-focused steps for everyday situations. The plan changes as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, keep regular appointments around work, or meet when it is harder to leave the house. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
