Allisa Clodfelter , LPCC

Allisa Clodfelter is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a life and performance coach who blends clinical training with practical coaching to help individuals, couples, families, and athletes reach clearer goals and healthier relationships. She brings a warm, approachable style and a flexible toolkit to work that ranges from couples therapy to performance coaching for athletes and executives. Allisa frames counseling as a resource not only for crisis management but for people who want to perform at their best in relationships, work, and daily life.

She helps clients trace how they arrived at their current patterns and builds practical bridges to where they want to go. With couples she emphasizes turning emotional triggers into learning opportunities and teaching calm, constructive communication even in the face of betrayal or long-standing conflict. Her practice includes work with couples in crisis, premarital counseling, individuals coping with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and addictive behaviors, and people navigating divorce, dating, and major life transitions.

Allisa also supports athletes facing performance anxiety or injury recovery, and she advises coaches and parents of student athletes on next-level support strategies. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University in Cincinnati and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology plus graduate studies in school psychology and child development from Eastern Illinois University. She has eight years of clinical experience, two years interning in addiction treatment at Brightview Health in Cincinnati, twelve years in special education and early childhood classrooms, and six years coaching competitive girls’ volleyball. Allisa is located in Ohio and sees clients in English. She is a mother and grandmother who combines professional expertise with lived experience.

Evidence-based approaches for online counseling and coaching

Allisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and Imago Relationship Therapy, which helps couples understand the emotional roots of conflict and develop clearer, more compassionate communication. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, especially in areas like addiction and habit change, by exploring values and strengthening internal motivation.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person or couple to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time so the treatment fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Allisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapeutic support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt evidence-based methods to the online setting.
