Alexandre Da Silva

Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He works with people who are dealing with mood changes, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma, and emotional emptiness. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. Alexandre encourages clients to use their own experiences and creativity as tools for change.

He favors a holistic, integrative approach that looks at thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and spiritual concerns together. That means blending ideas from different therapies rather than sticking to one method. In practical terms, sessions aim to build awareness of daily patterns and find small, concrete steps that make life easier.

Alexandre draws on several established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. He uses these approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and issues tied to identity or discrimination.

With five years of experience, he focuses on tailoring tools to each person’s situation. He pays attention to cultural background and identity and creates an accepting atmosphere for people of varied sexual orientations and heritages. The work often centers on clearer communication, healthier coping with stress, and rebuilding self-esteem.

People can expect collaborative sessions that explore practical strategies, values-based goals, and ways to handle strong emotions like anger. Alexandre invites clients to try experiments between sessions and to bring feedback so the work adjusts to real life.

How Alexandre uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can reduce panic, depressive moods, and patterns that feed anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy-related issues, trust, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandre talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose and adapt methods so sessions fit the person's needs and daily life, with room to try different techniques and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain continuity during life changes. It also allows focused check-ins and skill practice that slide into regular routines. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since those options can vary. The emphasis is on practical tools, clearer thinking, and building routines that carry over into everyday life.
