About Edili

Edili Maldonado is a licensed therapist based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disturbances, trauma, grief, and ADHD among other concerns. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and emphasizes respect, acceptance, and compassion as the foundation for therapeutic work.

Background and approach

Patients can expect a nonjudgmental space where practical strategies and personal insight are blended to support more effective daily functioning. Her style is eclectic and individualized, drawing on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, among others.

Maldonado prefers to match specific techniques to each person's needs rather than using a single formula, which she finds enhances the likelihood of meaningful progress. She also offers coaching-oriented support for career and self-management goals.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Maldonado holds credentials as an LMHC and an LPC and maintains licensure in New York and New Jersey. Her approach rejects labels and stigma, instead aiming to empower clients with skills and self-reliance so they can manage symptoms and move toward their goals.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Tools

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action; it is useful for issues like anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and current needs. This collaborative matching aims to make treatment both practical and personally relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for clients balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options allow people to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, and the therapist tailors the format to what best supports each person's progress.
