About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and stress. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
He encourages people to use their own experiences and creativity as tools in therapy. That often means practical exercises and real-life experiments rather than only talking about feelings. Alexandre values cultural differences and attends to how identity and background shape emotional responses.
His practice uses ideas from several approaches to match what a person needs. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Mindfulness-based methods build awareness of bodily sensations and emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking actionable steps toward them.
He also works from attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions, including anger and intimacy-related concerns. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change, such as with addictions or difficult habits.
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple strategies you can use between meetings. Alexandre often recommends short exercises to practice during the week. People leave sessions with specific steps to try and a plan to review progress.
Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options so they fit into daily life.
How sessions work
How Alexandre’s approaches translate to online work
Alexandre draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-based ideas to guide online sessions. ACT helps people name values and take small, practical steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and trying different behaviors to reduce their hold. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and offers ways to try new responses in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandre will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past to decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is tracked over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so they fit your schedule and daily life. Online sessions can help people fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or avoid needing to be on camera for every check-in. Talk with the therapist about session length and structure so meetings are manageable and useful for your routine.
