About Alexandre
Alexandre Da Silva is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to address problems like anger, anxiety, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and take place online through video, phone, chat, or messaging.
Alexandre sees each person as the expert on their life and invites clients to use their own experiences as tools for change.
Background and approach
He favors short, clear steps that can reduce distress quickly and build lasting skills. That approach can help with mood shifts, panic, and problems that get in the way of daily functioning. In practice he blends several approaches to meet individual needs.
That can look like learning to notice thoughts without getting swept away, testing small behavior changes, or strengthening close bonds through attachment-focused work. He also uses motivational techniques to support changes around substance use and habits. He has five years of clinical experience working with concerns such as grief, addictions, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and multicultural challenges.
Alexandre pays attention to cultural background and to how identity and discrimination affect mental health. Sessions are structured but warm, with practical exercises between meetings. Clients who prefer Portuguese or English can choose the language that feels most comfortable for exploring emotions and solving problems.

Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions by shifting focus toward meaningful behaviors rather than trying to eliminate difficult emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. It is useful for panic, mood disorders, and stress because it offers clear steps and exercises to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which supports work on anger and grief.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques early on and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it possible to keep therapy flexible and consistent around work and family commitments.
