About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva brings a practical, experience-centered approach to therapy. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who emphasizes using a person’s own experiences and strengths to create change. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese to match client needs.
He focuses on common life struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and addictions. He also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, grief, and problems tied to identity such as LGBT and multicultural concerns.
Background and approach
Clients may also work on anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes including immigration-related stress. Alexandre blends approaches rather than using a single method. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
That mix lets him tailor sessions to what each person needs and prefers. Sessions aim to build skills people can use outside of therapy. In the room, he asks simple questions and helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
He supports practical steps like values-based goals, mindfulness exercises, and clearer communication. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that reduce distress and improve daily life. With five years of experience, Alexandre works with adults facing trauma, mood shifts, panic, and identity-related stressors.
He welcomes people who want straightforward, culturally aware care that honors their background and personal strengths.
Online therapy using ACT and CBT plus attachment work
Alexandre commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT focuses on building meaningful habits even when difficult feelings are present. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses that reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Attachment-based ideas are woven in to address relationship patterns, helping people notice how early bonds shape current connections and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alexandre works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, culture, and day-to-day life. He will check in regularly and adapt techniques based on what is helping and what feels useful to the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which enable flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is often used for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel routines while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical skills.
