About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Alexandre encourages people to use their own life experience and creativity as tools in therapy. He aims for practical steps that can produce noticeable change in everyday life.
In sessions he helps people name patterns that leave them putting others first or losing themselves in relationships. He talks through boundary setting, communication habits, and feelings that come from attachment wounds. He also addresses how identity, culture, and prejudice shape mood and relationships.
His approach blends different methods rather than sticking to a single model. That can mean focusing on values and committed action one week, then working on thought patterns or mindful practices the next. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help changing behaviors like substance use or avoidance.
People who prefer therapy in Portuguese can choose that language. Alexandre asks clients to reflect on their own goals and then offers clear, practical steps to move forward. To begin he uses a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session once match details are completed.
How sessions work
How Alexandre uses ACT, attachment work and CBT online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values. It is useful for people who feel stuck or who want to stop letting worries or other people steer their choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional reactions; it helps people understand why they respond the way they do in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thought patterns and behavior links to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Alexandre treats this as a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the person make practical changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or not needing travel time. Video or phone sessions also let people work through sensitive topics from a familiar routine, and some approaches like mindfulness exercises or values work translate well to a remote setting. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support consistent progress without requiring major schedule changes.
