About Alexandre

Alexandre Da Silva blends cognitive behavioral principles with an integrative, holistic outlook to guide people toward clearer thinking and more purposeful living.

Background and approach

As an LMHC practicing in New York, he encourages clients to use their own experiences and creativity as tools for solving problems, framing therapy as an active process that combines practical strategies with attention to emotions, bodily sensations, and personal values.

Alexandre works with mood-related concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, anxiety and panic, as well as trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. His approach draws from multiple modalities including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, allowing him to tailor interventions to each person's needs.

He is experienced in addressing issues like self-esteem, anger, career transitions, parenting challenges, ADHD, and multicultural or immigration-related stressors. Therapy is offered in English and Portuguese, and Alexandre aims to create an inclusive, respectful setting where differences in culture, gender identity, and sexual orientation are acknowledged and honored.

Online approaches that combine skills and values

Alexandre commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action. He also uses attachment-based techniques to explore relational patterns and how early bonds influence current feelings and interactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandre works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and then adapts methods over time to find what fits best for their circumstances and values.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on practical skills, emotional processing, and value-driven changes with a licensed professional.
