About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, and related concerns. She works in New York and speaks English and Spanish. She brings 12 years of experience to sessions and aims to meet people where they are.
She believes therapy should feel respectful and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical steps to ease day-to-day strain. She encourages skills people can use between visits to manage worry, mood swings, or panic episodes.
Background and approach
Her approach adapts to each person. Edili draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle with difficult feelings. She also uses emotion-focused work to help people understand and name painful experiences.
Many clients find value in learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Edili blends those tools with motivational support so people can set realistic goals and follow through. She aims to help people feel more steady and capable in daily life.
Her background includes more than a decade of clinical work with mood disorders, trauma, attention concerns, and caregiver stress. Edili emphasizes collaboration - she partners with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs and goals.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and then identify values-based steps to move forward. It is useful for anxiety, persistent worry, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress; it is often used for panic, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then tailors methods that fit each person’s needs. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adjust techniques when something isn’t working.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, quicker check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days.
