Alexandre Da Silva, LMHC

Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood changes, trauma, addictions, and parenting strains. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.

He uses practical, experience-based methods that invite clients to draw on their own strengths and creativity. That means talking through what feels most useful in day-to-day life and trying small changes that can make an immediate difference. He describes an integrative style, combining tools from several approaches rather than relying on a single method.

Alexandre pays attention to cultural background and to differences in sexual orientation and gender identity. He notes immigration-related concerns and multicultural issues among common topics he addresses. He also works with people who bring worries about relationships, intimacy, grief, anger, self-esteem and career decisions.

In sessions he often focuses on present patterns, attachment concerns, and practical coping skills. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness may be used to reduce overwhelm and to change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and to support action toward what matters most.

He encourages straightforward conversation about problems such as codependency, communication breakdowns, body image, and isolation. The work is collaborative: clients and the counselor try approaches, notice what changes, and adjust plans over time.
