About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses practical, person-focused therapy. He encourages people to build on their own experiences and creativity to find solutions that fit their life. He speaks English and Portuguese and aims to make sessions approachable for those feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or mood changes.
His work mixes several approaches so sessions feel tailored, not one-size-fits-all. Alexandre often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts without getting stuck. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies to identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are woven in to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Alexandre has five years of clinical experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and trauma-related concerns. He lists panic disorder and panic attacks among his focus areas and helps people recognize triggers and learn practical coping steps. He also addresses issues such as addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and self-esteem.
People who come to him for therapy can expect a straightforward, collaborative process. Sessions aim to identify small changes that improve day-to-day functioning. Alexandre emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respects different backgrounds, sexual orientations, and life stories.
For someone juggling symptoms, life transitions, or long-standing patterns, he offers steady, goal-oriented support. The approach centers on what the person already brings into the room and how to put those strengths to use.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Alexandre often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it helps people commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Mindfulness practices are also woven into sessions to help calm physical reactions and increase present-moment awareness. These methods can be useful for managing anxiety, panic symptoms, mood shifts, and stress by teaching simple exercises that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. Expectations and priorities are reviewed together so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the context of everyday life, then bring observations back to sessions for discussion.
