About Edili
Edili Maldonado helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, mood shifts, or life changes. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, workplace stress, ADHD, and trauma-related issues. Edili communicates in English and Spanish and practices in New York.
She brings 12 years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed professional counselor - LMHC and LPC. Her style is flexible.
How Edili works
She adapts methods to match what each person needs instead of using one fixed approach. In sessions she combines practical tools and reflective conversation. That can look like identifying unhelpful thinking, learning new coping skills, or practicing emotional regulation strategies.
She emphasizes respect, acceptance, and compassion in every interaction without judgment or labels. Edili often uses elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotion-focused work, and acceptance and commitment approaches when they fit a person's goals. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt, shame, isolation, and multicultural concerns.
Her aim is to help clients build insight and skills they can use day to day. She encourages people to set realistic goals and to try small changes that add up. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behavior to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills for issues like panic, mood shifts, and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can ease intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose or blend methods that fit those needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to get help around work, childcare, or a busy day.
