Alexandre Da Silva , LMHC

Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who works from a holistic, integrative perspective to support adults facing mood changes, anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional emptiness. He encourages clients to draw on their own life experiences and innate creativity as primary tools for discovering practical, sustainable solutions. By blending techniques from multiple therapeutic schools, he adapts interventions to the specific needs of each person rather than relying on a single protocol.

He places strong emphasis on cultural diversity and respect for individual differences, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for people of all genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and cultural heritages. Fluent in English and Portuguese, he is able to offer therapy in both languages to better meet the needs of bilingual clients.

Alexandre integrates mindfulness and emotion-focused practices alongside evidence-based methods to increase day-to-day awareness and help clients reconnect with their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and sense of meaning. His training equips him to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and intimacy-related difficulties.

His approach emphasizes collaboration, respect, and individualized care, with the goal of helping clients build lasting skills for coping, growth, and improved well-being.

Clinical Approaches and Online Care with Alexandre Da Silva

Alexandre uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values - a practical approach for people coping with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is employed to explore and repair relational patterns, supporting clients who struggle with intimacy, codependency, or attachment injuries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and shift negative thinking and behavior patterns, which can be helpful for panic, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandre works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he tailors interventions over time as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Alexandre is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These formats allow clients to receive consistent support from a licensed professional while choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
