About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of experience to sessions in New York. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and start practical steps forward.
She emphasizes respect and compassion and works to build tools clients can use between sessions. Edili draws on several therapy methods and matches them to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
That might mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness and acceptance strategies to manage strong feelings, or emotion-focused work to repair connection and closeness. She also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Those tools are practical and focused on what someone can do in a moment of overwhelm or when anger rises. Throughout work together she aims to boost insight and self-reliance. Sessions mix real-talk problem solving with skills practice.
People who come for help leave with clearer steps and a plan to cope with future setbacks.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood disorders.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that fit. That makes sessions feel collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when a deeper conversation is needed; phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief coaching or skills reminders into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy going around work, caregiving duties, and other commitments.
