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 people facing anxiety, stress, mood changes, trauma, and relationship concerns, and he offers sessions in English and Portuguese.
He encourages clients to use their own experiences and creativity as tools in therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. The tone is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to cultural background and individual differences.
Alexandre draws from several psychotherapy approaches to match each person's needs. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice tough feelings while moving toward chosen values. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in closeness and trust.
Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure how to begin. Alexandre combines these methods rather than relying on a single model, and he explains options clearly so clients can pick what fits.
He welcomes cultural diversity and attends to issues like immigration, discrimination, and multicultural concerns. People seeking help for panic attacks, depression, addictions, ADHD, or sexual orientation related stress can bring those topics into sessions. Intake begins with a brief questionnaire and a first appointment to plan next steps.
How Alexandre uses ACT, CBT and attachment work online
Alexandre often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical, online conversations. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety and low motivation. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to test new responses and reduce unhelpful patterns, useful for panic, social worry, and mood symptoms.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and closeness. In online sessions this can help people understand why they react a certain way in social or intimate situations and try new ways of relating. Alexandre works collaboratively to pick approaches that fit a client's goals and preferences rather than insisting on one single method.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or another supported option if those are offered. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements during the initial scheduling step.
