How Zoila works

She also served as a director of quality assurance for state and county programs, focusing on service standards and compliance with federal and state rules. That work shaped her attention to clear treatment planning and measurable goals. Mimi has worked with adults and older adults and has prior experience with people who were in foster care.

She has provided training to other clinicians on ethics, assessment, group therapy, and treatment planning. Her experience includes assessing and facilitating groups related to domestic violence.

Treatment is tailored to each person’s needs, with concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. She emphasizes cultural awareness, empathy, and a nonjudgmental approach. Mimi describes her role as walking and working with people through change, so they do not have to face difficult issues alone.

Online support options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Zoila (Mimi) Danta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then trying practical experiments to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with mood or daily coping. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what’s already working and on small, achievable steps toward a preferred future; it can be helpful for people who want quick, practical changes and clearer goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mimi will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and personal preferences. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and focused on progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, asynchronous check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work on goals from different locations.
