About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses a blend of practical, person-centered approaches. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, mood changes, and relationship or identity concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
He favors a holistic, integrative style that looks at thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and values. That means conversations often include simple skills, experiments, and activities to try between sessions.
Background and approach
He combines methods from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to help people build small, steady changes. Alexandre also pays attention to early attachment patterns and how they shape close relationships. Work in this area can include noticing interaction patterns and trying new ways of relating.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone faces ambivalence about change or struggles with behaviors like substance use. His background includes five years of clinical practice supporting people with trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, panic, and addiction-related issues. He aims to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life rather than abstract or overly technical.
Clients can expect clear discussions about goals and concrete steps to try between meetings. Alexandre encourages drawing on personal strengths and creativity to find workable solutions. He approaches cultural differences with respect and aims to make each person feel welcome and understood.
Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values and then taking small committed actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck by focusing on what you want your life to look like rather than only on eliminating symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and experiments you can do between sessions to reduce panic, low mood, and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people try different ways of relating when old patterns cause isolation or conflict.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you can try one method or combine elements from different approaches, adjusting as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits the day. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates, check-ins, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while still working toward concrete, practical change.
