About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her style blends practical skills and supportive listening. She uses approaches clients often find helpful, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered techniques. She aims to match the method to what the person needs, not force a single model.
In sessions she focuses on clear strategies and real-life practice. That can mean learning skills to manage strong emotions, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, or building straightforward routines that reduce overwhelm. She also works on communication and boundary-setting for relationship and family concerns.
Her background includes a decade plus of one-to-one psychotherapy with people experiencing mood disorders, trauma, and attention differences. She avoids judgement and labels, and she supports people as they develop skills to manage symptoms and daily pressures. Practical tools and steady planning are part of how she helps people move forward.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process is used so prospective clients can set an initial session and discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to make room for difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical behavior changes to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication that are useful when strong feelings or conflict arise.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experience with therapy, and what feels most doable. Together they create a plan that mixes skills practice, problem-solving, and conversation to fit the person's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in their own daily routines and return to issues between sessions with exercises or behavioral experiments agreed on during meetings.
