About Edili
Edili Maldonado is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of experience to sessions in New York. Edili aims to offer a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through immediate problems and long-standing concerns.
She uses straightforward methods to help people learn skills and gain clarity. Sessions often include practical exercises for coping, ways to problem-solve, and discussions that focus on what matters to the person.
Background and approach
Edili adapts her approach to fit each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Edili draws on approaches such as existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy when they suit the work. That can mean examining values and meaning, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or building flexible responses to difficult feelings.
She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered therapy when helpful. People come to her for many concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, panic, and caregiver strain. She also supports those struggling with guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose.
Her practice combines listening, practical tools, and collaborative planning. Prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
Approaches that inform online care
Existential therapy helps people examine what matters most and how to find meaning amid life changes and painful events. It often suits people who feel empty, stuck, or uncertain about purpose and want to think through values and choices.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic stress by focusing on values-based steps rather than symptom elimination alone.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and problems where changing daily habits and thoughts can reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the situation and change the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full conversations and exercises, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat allows for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
