About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. He invites clients to use their own life experience and creativity as tools for change. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and are aimed at helping people find clearer, more steady ground when life feels overwhelming.
He blends several approaches rather than relying on a single technique. That mix includes acceptance and commitment methods, cognitive work to shift unhelpful patterns, and attention to attachment dynamics that shape relationships. Alexandre uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing elements to help people notice choices and stay motivated for change.
Clients often bring concerns like anxiety, mood shifts, stress, trauma, addiction, identity and sexuality questions, and difficulties with relationships or intimacy. He also helps with life transitions, career doubts, parenting strains, grief, and struggles around self-esteem and body image. Codependency and communication problems are included among his focus areas.
His style is straightforward and collaborative. He aims to make therapy feel useful from the first sessions by setting clear goals and offering tools people can try between meetings. Alexandre emphasizes cultural awareness and respects diverse backgrounds and identities.
With five years of clinical experience in New York, Alexandre works to match methods to each person’s situation. He encourages people to bring what feels true from their lives into the work, and to test practical strategies that can lead to steady changes over time.
Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Alexandre draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connection and trust, and it can help with intimacy, communication, and codependency concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that feel helpful. Adjustments are made over time based on what the client reports and what is working in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy during life transitions and keep momentum between appointments while experimenting with new skills in daily routines.
