Background and approach

Alexandre emphasizes cultural awareness and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds. He speaks English and Portuguese and pays attention to how culture, identity, and life changes shape what someone brings to therapy. With five years of experience he has supported people dealing with depression, bipolar concerns, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting challenges.

He also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, self-esteem, and coping with major life transitions. Sessions include options like video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that follows therapist availability.

How Alexandre blends therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, mood struggles, and making behavior changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and improve coping. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current connection and communication; it helps when relationship patterns, intimacy issues, or parenting concerns come up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandre will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and he adapts techniques as therapy progresses. The focus is practical - trying things, seeing what helps, and adjusting based on how the client responds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and daily life. They also allow continued support during life changes and make it possible to use short check-ins or longer conversations depending on what is most helpful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
