What therapeutic approaches do you use?

Alex Filazzola — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 20:31:37 +0000

In my practice I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches and tailor the work to what makes the most sense for you. At the core of my practice is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which I have studied and practised at an advanced level. I also draw on Solution-Focused Therapy to help you identify strengths and build on what is already working in your life, and Strengths-Based approaches to uncover the abilities and supports you already have.

I bring an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens to my work, which many clients find intuitive, especially when feeling stuck or ambivalent. Throughout all of my work I apply an anti-oppressive, affirming framework that takes into account all aspects of who you are, including your relationships, culture, family, and spirituality.

How long is each therapy session?

Alex Filazzola — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 19:52:45 +0000

Each therapy session, although referred to as a therapy “hour”, is 50 minutes in length — this allows me to review notes and prepare for your session. The 50-minute session is considered a standard in the psychotherapy profession.

Do you offer remote or online sessions?

Alex Filazzola — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 19:52:03 +0000

Yes — I offer fully secure remote video sessions for clients living in Toronto, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, across Ontario, and other Canadian provinces. Video sessions are considered by insurance providers to be equivalent to in-person sessions and are often covered by extended health benefit plans. I use a fully-encrypted online video platform hosted entirely on Canadian web servers, and I will send you clear, easy-to-follow instructions so that meeting with me online is simple and low-stress. In my experience, clients are able to work on many of the same concerns in remote sessions as in person — and there are added benefits too, such as meeting from the comfort of your own home or other area of your choice, no travel time, working with a specialist you may not be able to access in non-urban areas, and pets are always welcome!

What is Anti-Oppressive Practice?

Alex Filazzola — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 19:51:48 +0000

Some people in our culture have privilege based on aspects including skin colour, phenotype, biological (assigned) sex at birth, ethnicity, economic status and ability, while others experience multiple oppressions due to these and other factors – some, in turn, are both privileged and oppressed. In my life and work I acknowledge my own privilege and oppression and that of my clients, and together we can explore how power is granted to some and denied to others and how society maintains this status quo. In my practice I recognize that we all have intersecting identities and that our experiences of privilege and oppression are as varied as we are.
