Allisa Clodfelter , LPCC

Allisa Clodfelter is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She brings eight years of counseling experience alongside a background in performance and life coaching. Allisa describes a warm, approachable style and translates techniques used by elite athletes into everyday life skills for her clients.

Allisa helps people understand how they arrived at current patterns and maps practical steps toward change. She supports people facing addictions, relationship struggles, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and career questions. She also focuses on divorce and separation, impulsivity, narcissism, and women's issues.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and earlier studies in psychology and child development at Eastern Illinois University. She also completed internships in addiction treatment and worked many years in early childhood education. Those experiences shape how she blends coaching with clinical care.

In sessions she aims for clear, usable strategies rather than only talking about problems. People can expect concrete tools for communication, managing impulses, and rebuilding trust after separation or relationship strain. She adapts exercises so they fit a client's daily life and schedule.

Allisa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different needs. She works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

Her approach is practical and goal-oriented, with attention to emotions, behavior, and real-world routines. She encourages steady progress and helps people measure small wins along the way.

Approaches That Translate to Online Care

Allisa uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to keep therapy focused and actionable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that get in the way of daily goals; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviors. Compassion Focused approaches teach self-kindness and reduce self-criticism, which can help with shame, self-esteem, and relationship strain. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring values and building motivation one step at a time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what needs more attention.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth work and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, parenting, and other commitments.
