About Allisa
Allisa Clodfelter is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She blends clinical counseling with life and performance coaching to help people move from where they are to where they want to be. Her style is warm and approachable, with a focus on clear, practical steps.
She believes counseling is useful outside of crisis. Allisa borrows techniques elite athletes use and adapts them for everyday life. Sessions focus on understanding how a person arrived at current patterns and building skills to change them.
How Allisa works
This often includes work on addictive behaviors, self-esteem, career direction, and parenting challenges. For relationship concerns she offers ways to turn emotional triggers into learning moments. She emphasizes calmer communication during conflict and helps people clarify what lies beneath repeated fights or separation.
She also supports people coping with divorce or changes in partnership status. Allisa has eight years of clinical experience and additional internship time focused on addiction treatment. Her background includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and earlier psychology and child development study at Eastern Illinois University.
She also brings years of classroom and coaching experience to her clinical work. People who choose her tend to want practical strategies they can use between sessions. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options to fit different schedules and needs.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Allisa integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into online sessions in a straightforward way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions to change feelings and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and addictive patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own goals and strengths to build motivation for change, which can be helpful for substance concerns and shifting impulsive habits. Compassion-focused ideas encourage gentleness toward oneself and can ease shame and self-critical thinking.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they pick techniques that fit the situation and adjust them as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
