Alexandre Da Silva , LMHC

Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who guides adults through stress, mood shifts, anxiety, trauma, and emotional numbness with a warm, culturally aware approach. He encourages clients to draw on their own life experiences and creative strengths as tools for finding practical, lasting solutions. Alexandre values diversity and creates an inclusive environment for people of all genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and cultural heritages.

Trained in holistic and integrative psychotherapy, he blends techniques from multiple therapeutic schools to tailor care to each person. The holistic perspective helps clients tune into their emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, and, when relevant, spiritual life. The integrative method combines targeted clinical interventions to address the unique needs of every individual, aiming to support meaningful, sustainable change.

Alexandre works in both English and Portuguese and is skilled in treating a range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, and trauma-related difficulties. He draws on evidence-informed approaches to support clients in moving toward their goals while honoring their personal histories and identities.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Alexandre draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - an approach useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and early bonding experiences, helping clients understand how these patterns affect intimacy, trust, and communication in adult life. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and panic symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandre works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting interventions over time as needs evolve. This teamwork helps ensure the therapeutic plan fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single technique.

Online sessions with Alexandre are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
