About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of experience. He works with adults who struggle with mood changes, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
Alexandre encourages clients to use their own life experience and creativity as part of the work. He mixes practical strategies from different psychotherapy approaches. That means sessions focus on what helps a person feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
He pays attention to cultural background and personal identity. People of different sexual orientations, gender identities, religious beliefs, and cultural heritages are welcomed. Alexandre describes his approach as integrative - drawing on multiple methods rather than only one model.
In session he uses short exercises, focused conversation, and simple behavior steps people can try between meetings. He also works on understanding attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions. This often helps with anger that comes from feeling threatened, dismissed, or unheard.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical work aimed at clearer thinking and better self-management. Alexandre helps people notice emotions, test new ways of responding, and practice small changes that reduce daily stress. He blends acceptance, mindfulness, and cognitive techniques to support steady progress.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can help when anger feels automatic or when avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses small experiments to test different responses. It is useful for changing repeated reactions at work or home. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present trust and closeness; understanding those patterns can reduce anger that stems from feeling misunderstood or rejected.Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. Alexandre will talk with each person about goals and preferences and use that information to guide which methods to try. That helps keep sessions practical and aligned with what a person wants to change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists often adapt exercises for audio or video meetings and suggest manageable between-session steps that fit daily life.
