About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, and parenting challenges. She practices in New York and speaks English and Spanish. Her style is direct and caring, aimed at giving practical tools for day-to-day life.
She brings about 12 years of clinical experience to sessions. That background includes work with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and grief. She focuses on clear strategies that people can use between appointments.
Background and approach
Edili adapts her approach to each person. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and acceptance-based ideas to match what a person needs. Sessions combine action steps with chances to reflect and build self-awareness.
Respect and acceptance guide her work. She avoids judgment and labels, and she helps people notice patterns and try small changes. The goal is more control over mood, reactions, and relationships rather than dependence on the therapist.
Practical goals are common in her work. Clients learn coping skills for panic, tools for managing anger, routes through grief, and ways to handle parenting stress. She encourages independence so people can apply what they learn after therapy ends.

Online approaches matched to your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed steps toward what matters, which can help with grief, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or panic attacks.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It can be useful for intense emotions, anger, and patterns that cause relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit goals, values, and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and visual connection, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, chat fits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
