Alexandre Da Silva , LMHC

Alexandre Da Silva encourages each person to use their own experiences and innate creativity as central tools in the therapeutic process, guiding clients toward practical, sustainable solutions that feel relevant to their daily lives. He believes that drawing on personal strengths and insights can accelerate progress and support lasting change.

He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and approaches every individual with respect for differences in gender, sexual orientation, faith, and cultural heritage. Meetings with Alexandre are intended to be warm and affirming, creating a space where clients can explore concerns without expectation or judgment.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Alexandre favors holistic and integrative methods that attend to emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, and, when relevant, spiritual concerns. The holistic approach fosters greater awareness in everyday life, while the integrative perspective blends techniques from multiple therapeutic schools to suit each person as unique. He has training to work with adults experiencing mood changes, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional emptiness. Alexandre provides therapy in both English and Portuguese and aims to tailor interventions to each client’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Benefits of Online Work

Alexandre frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. ACT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes.

He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can support people working through relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, and attachment difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandre works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit support into a busy life. For many people, remote sessions increase access to consistent work with licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue through transitions, travel, or scheduling constraints.
