About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and trauma. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York and works in English and Portuguese. Alexandre focuses on real-life changes rather than jargon-heavy talk.
He invites clients to use their own experiences and creativity as part of the work. He blends methods like acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and attachment-informed work to meet each person's needs.
How Alexandre works
Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, build coping skills, and reduce patterns that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also woven in when useful to strengthen motivation and present-moment awareness. Alexandre pays attention to cultural background and the ways identity shapes stress and healing.
He helps people facing concerns such as depression, bipolar mood shifts, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. He also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career stress, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination. Therapy typically focuses on small, practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Alexandre favors a collaborative style that respects each person's pace and values. He encourages open conversation about goals and adjusts his approach as progress unfolds. Clients can expect clear, straightforward sessions that balance skills practice with space to reflect.
Alexandre aims to make therapy useful and applicable to everyday life.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Alexandre commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people get clearer about their values and take small committed actions toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. CBT focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease anxiety, panic, and low mood.He treats therapy as a collaborative process. Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client decide together based on goals, preferences, and life demands. Alexandre will check in regularly and adjust methods to match what is helping most for the client’s situation.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep momentum between meetings.
