Allisa Clodfelter

Allisa Clodfelter is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with eight years of experience. She combines counseling and life and performance coaching to help people move from where they are to where they want to be. Her approach is described as warm and approachable and she often adapts techniques used by elite athletes for everyday life challenges.

Clodfelter focuses on relationship concerns, addictions, parenting, self-esteem, and career issues. She also supports people through divorce and separation, impulsivity, narcissism-related concerns, and women’s issues. She helps individuals and couples examine patterns, clarify goals, and take practical steps toward change.

In couples work she emphasizes turning emotional triggers into moments for learning. She teaches communication strategies to reduce reactivity and to address conflict, including issues like infidelity, in ways that build clearer understanding between partners. For parents she offers concrete skills to manage household strain and help children build resilience.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and a Bachelor of Science in psychology with further graduate study in school psychology and child development. She spent two years interning in addiction treatment and has twelve years of early childhood special education experience.

Outside of counseling she has coached competitive volleyball and worked with athletes and executives on performance anxiety and next-level goals. She is a mother and grandmother and brings that practical life experience into sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Allisa integrates evidence-based approaches in a practical way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people find their own reasons to change, useful for addictions and shifting stuck patterns.

The right approach is often discovered together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That conversation guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured so they fit the client's needs.

Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how she currently meets with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue support through life transitions, while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than making promises about outcomes.
