About Alexandre
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience, Alexandre Da Silva works with adults on mood, stress, anxiety, trauma, and identity-related concerns. He offers therapy in English and Portuguese and frames sessions around practical steps that connect to a client’s everyday life.
Alexandre draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. He asks clients to use their own experiences and creativity as starting points for change. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and feelings, testing small behavioral shifts, and building clearer personal values to guide decisions.
He emphasizes cultural awareness and respect for differences in gender, sexual orientation, religion, and heritage. Alexandre describes his approach as integrative - mixing techniques from several therapies to match what each person needs at the time. That means sessions may include mindfulness practices, value clarification, thought-behavior work, and discussions about attachment patterns.
Work typically addresses depression, bipolar symptoms, anxiety and panic, trauma and post-traumatic stress, addiction-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, grief, and life transitions. Additional focuses listed include body image, codependency, communication problems, immigration issues, and multicultural concerns.
Clients can expect clear, action-oriented conversations and simple exercises to try between meetings. Alexandre encourages collaboration: goals and techniques are adjusted as clients report what helps and what does not.

How his therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-based choices matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions typically include noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood instability.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses. It can help people who struggle with intimacy, communication problems, or patterns of codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. Techniques can be adjusted over time as progress and feedback are reviewed.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match daily routines.
