About Allisa
Allisa Clodfelter is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with eight years of clinical practice. She also works as a life and performance coach and focuses on addictions, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and career concerns. She uses approaches drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching skills she adapted from elite performance work.
Allisa frames counseling as practical work, not only crisis care. She helps people trace how they arrived at current patterns and builds steps to move forward. She borrows strategies used with athletes to help clients improve performance in daily life and work. Sessions often include concrete skill practice and problem-solving rather than abstract discussion.
When working with couples she focuses on helping partners learn to notice triggers and use them as information. She offers ways to calm communication during conflict and to address issues like infidelity with clear, structured steps. For parents she teaches behavioral strategies and communication skills aimed at reducing household tension and preparing children for challenges.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and earlier graduate work in school psychology and child development. She spent two years interning in addiction treatment and has extensive experience in early childhood special education. Those experiences inform her work with addictive behavior and life transitions.
Allisa blends clinical counseling with coaching for athletes, executives, and individuals seeking performance gains. She describes her role as practical and results oriented, helping people translate insight into everyday changes. Sessions and planning focus on clear goals and measurable steps.

Approaches used and what online work looks like
Allisa draws on evidence-based techniques to shape sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people increase their motivation to change and supports work on substance use or impulsivity. Imago-informed relationship work concentrates on communication patterns between partners and offers structured steps to reduce reactivity and improve understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and aims.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into work or family routines. It also allows short check-ins, focused skill practice, and follow-up between longer visits when useful. Many people find virtual sessions reduce travel time and help maintain consistency with ongoing plans.
