About Alexandre

Alexandre Da Silva practices an integrative, person-centered approach that blends evidence-based methods to support lasting change.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York, he draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients build awareness, clarify values, and develop practical coping strategies.

Alexandre frames therapy as a collaborative process that uses each person's life experience and creativity as tools for problem solving and growth. With five years of clinical experience, he works with people facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, and ADHD.

Alexandre also attends to related areas like attachment issues, body image, communication struggles, multicultural and immigration concerns, and men's issues. He offers services in English and Portuguese and emphasizes a welcoming, culturally aware environment where differences in gender, sexual orientation, religion, and background are respected.

Therapy with Alexandre frequently combines mindfulness and behavioral techniques with exploration of relational patterns to support clients in creating meaningful change. He encourages practical steps and creative personal resources to move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

Approach-driven online care with flexible access



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and early relational experiences to help shift long-standing interpersonal dynamics and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alexandre collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan to find the most useful mix of strategies.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and access support from New York-based licensed professionals without rearranging daily life.
