About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical tools to sessions. Edili speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing a wide range of concerns.
Edili uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered work to shape sessions around each person's needs. She listens first, then suggests skills and exercises clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on coping skills, mood management, and clearer communication. Her work spans issues like relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, and career strain. She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, panic attacks, and postpartum depression.
Edili pays attention to cultural context and multicultural concerns when they matter to a client. With 12 years of clinical experience, Edili combines practical strategy with emotional support. She avoids labels and judgment and aims to help people build independence in handling their struggles.
Progress is framed as small, doable steps rather than sweeping promises. Edili is licensed as an LMHC in New York and holds an LPC in New Jersey. She offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Edili often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms because it breaks problems into clear, manageable steps.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel intense or when relationships become strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Edili listens to a person's goals, life situation, and preferences, and then she suggests techniques to try. The plan is adjusted based on what helps in real life, and clients are invited to give feedback at every stage.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can work for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between sessions.
