About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses practical, experience-centered therapy to help people facing parenting stress and related life challenges. He invites clients to use their everyday knowledge and creativity as tools for change. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and focus. Attachment-Based Therapy helps address patterns in close relationships that affect parenting and intimacy. His approach mixes techniques from different therapies so each plan fits the person in front of him.
That makes room for straightforward strategies, short-term goals, and longer work on deeper patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen commitment to change when people feel stuck. Clients can expect conversations that connect daily experience to practical next steps.
Alexandre emphasizes clear, usable skills for tackling stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief, and parenting pressures. He also supports concerns around identity, discrimination, and multicultural issues. With five years of clinical experience, he works with adults navigating life transitions, addiction recovery, and emotional regulation.
He centers cultural awareness and respect in sessions and pays attention to how immigration, identity, and social pressures shape wellbeing.

Flexible approaches for online parenting and life work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting doubts, and motivation struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, panic, and everyday parenting challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationship patterns shape emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for intimacy concerns, communication problems, and patterns that affect caregiving or close bonds.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. Sessions may combine techniques so clients gain quick coping tools and deeper, longer-term change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options let people fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied lifestyles.
