Allisa Clodfelter

Allisa Clodfelter is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She combines clinical counseling with life and performance coaching to help people move from where they are now toward where they want to be. Allisa writes short, direct plans and uses practical skills borrowed from elite athletes to build better habits and clearer thinking.

She often helps people facing relationship stress, parenting challenges, career transitions, and addictive behaviors. She also supports those navigating divorce and separation and those managing impulsivity or narcissistic dynamics. Her work aims to make difficult moments more understandable and more manageable.

Allisa uses plain language in sessions and focuses on actionable steps. For couples she emphasizes calm communication and turning triggers into lessons rather than repeated fights. For individuals she blends performance coaching techniques with counseling tools to reduce anxiety and strengthen decision-making.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and a Bachelor of Science in psychology with graduate study in school psychology and child development from Eastern Illinois University. She also completed two years of internship work in addiction treatment and has eight years of clinical experience.

Outside clinical work she brings teaching and coaching experience, including twelve years in early childhood special education and six years as a competitive girls’ volleyball coach. She is a mother and grandmother and often draws on that real-life perspective when helping people cope with everyday pressures.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Allisa lists a range of evidence-based techniques and adapts a few into straightforward tools people can use right away. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own motivation to change and can be useful for addictive behaviors or making big life decisions.

The right approach often emerges through trying a few methods together. She works collaboratively to find which techniques match a client's goals and preferences, adjusting pace and focus as needs change. Clients and therapist set practical targets and review progress regularly.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue care across life transitions or while managing parenting and work demands. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your daily life.
