Alexandre Da Silva

Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who combines practical therapy methods with an emphasis on personal experience. He encourages clients to use their own creativity and life history as tools to find straightforward, lasting solutions. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and he creates a welcoming space for people from diverse backgrounds and identities.

He uses a holistic, integrative outlook that brings together techniques from several therapy styles. That approach helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and values connect in daily life. Alexandre often blends strategies to match what each person needs rather than following a single rigid method.

Common concerns he addresses include mood changes, anxiety, stress, trauma, and feelings of emptiness. He also works with issues such as body image, attachment concerns, relationship and communication problems, addiction, and coping with life changes. Clients can expect practical steps alongside opportunities to reflect on personal meaning and values.

Alexandre draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing in session. He aims to help people build skills they can use outside therapy while also talking through deeper patterns that affect everyday life.

With five years of experience, Alexandre focuses on making therapy understandable and useful. He meets people where they are and helps them try new ways of responding to old problems.

How Alexandre’s approaches translate to online work

Alexandre commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and living more in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandre will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust methods over time so the work fits the person’s needs and daily life.

Please confirm which session formats are currently available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions and to practice skills in real-world settings between sessions.
