About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, and related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Maldonado uses a mix of therapy approaches and matches methods to the person’s needs. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered conversation to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas also appear in her work when they help with emotion regulation and persistent worries.
In a session she helps people name what feels hard, notice how it affects daily life, and practice small changes. Treatment can include skills for managing strong feelings, ways to change unhelpful thoughts, and exercises to improve communication. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, anger, shame, isolation, postpartum concerns, and multicultural stressors.
Maldonado does not use labels as a way to judge people. She aims to support clients in building practical strategies and clearer understanding so they can manage problems more independently. Her approach emphasizes respect and direct work on the issues people bring.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to act toward them even when difficult thoughts and feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change behaviors and mood. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be helpful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative decision is part of early sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily routines. They also allow straightforward check-ins, shorter catch-up sessions, or longer therapy meetings without travel, depending on the format offered. Licensed professionals can discuss which arrangement best fits a person’s schedule and goals.
