Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Edili Maldonado draws on several therapeutic approaches to address mood, anxiety, trauma, relationship, and life-change concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to shift patterns that contribute to distress - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult internal experiences - it can be helpful for persistent worry, avoidance, and difficulties with motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Edili works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to maximize fit and effectiveness.
Online therapy with Edili offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and shorter interactions can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access care around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities while maintaining continuity of treatment with a licensed professional.
