About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. He works with concerns related to LGBTQ matters, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese to support people from diverse backgrounds.
He brings three years of clinical experience and a person-centred outlook to sessions. That means he aims to listen first and follow the person's priorities. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among other approaches to offer practical ways to handle thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
In practice he focuses on everyday problems like concentration, memory and focus challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. He also offers help with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, communication and commitment issues. Sessions explore patterns and look for small, usable changes that make life easier.
People can expect a collaborative, straightforward style that values their own knowledge of their life. He emphasises building on strengths and making choices that match personal values. The aim is to help people feel more able to cope, relate and move forward.
For those interested in starting, sessions are arranged through the platform's booking flow. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Alexsandro works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options and adapt methods to what the person needs and prefers. Sessions are collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to match practical goals.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, and video or audio sessions can reduce travel time. The main practical benefits are greater convenience and the ability to continue therapy while living abroad or balancing work and family commitments.
