About Alexandre

Alexandre Da Silva approaches therapy with the belief that each person's lived experience is a central resource in the healing process. He encourages clients to draw on their own histories and creativity to uncover practical, lasting solutions that fit their lives. Alexandre emphasizes cultural humility and respect for differences, creating a welcoming space for people of varied genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and cultural heritages.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Alexandre is trained to provide professional psychotherapy and to integrate multiple evidence-informed techniques into a cohesive, individualized plan. His practice favors a holistic viewpoint that brings attention to emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, and, when relevant, spiritual dimensions. That integrative stance allows him to tailor interventions from different therapeutic schools so each person receives care that matches their unique needs.

Alexandre has experience working with adults facing mood changes, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional emptiness. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related struggles, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and related challenges. He offers therapy in both English and Portuguese, and brings five years of clinical experience in New York.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Alexandre draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and learn practical ways to act on what matters, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations that involve feeling stuck. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses - this work can support clients dealing with intimacy issues, codependency, or patterns in relationships. Additionally, Alexandre incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective coping skills for mood, anxiety, and anger challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandre collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and respected in their own care.

Online therapy with Alexandre is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, to access support from home, and to choose the communication style that feels most helpful for each session.
