About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. He uses a blend of practical tools and a collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. Alexandre invites clients to draw on their own life experience as part of the work.
He favors a holistic, integrative approach that mixes techniques from different therapies. That means sessions often include attention to thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and life habits rather than a single method. Clients can expect conversations that link daily experience with simple, workable steps to change what isn’t working.
Alexandre also brings specific approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy into the room when they fit the situation. He aims to make interventions concrete - practicing new ways of thinking, noticing patterns, and trying small behavioral changes between sessions.
He has five years of clinical experience supporting people facing depression, bipolar mood issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and grief. He also helps with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, parenting stress, career pressures, and identity issues related to LGBT and multicultural experiences.
People seeking therapy will find a respectful, culturally aware space where individual background matters. Alexandre encourages practical steps alongside reflection so clients can find clearer ways forward in day-to-day life.
How Alexandre's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for panic, stress, and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections, and it can help with intimacy, trust, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandre will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so approaches stay aligned with what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists commonly adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions, using practical homework and focused skill practice so progress continues between meetings.
