About Allisa
Allisa Clodfelter is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who brings eight years of clinical practice and a background in coaching to her work. She frames counseling as a tool for growth, not only for times of crisis. Allisa blends life and performance coaching ideas to help people move from where they are to where they want to be.
She draws on experience with athletes, executives, and parents to adapt high-performance habits for everyday life.
Background and approach
Her approach focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use right away. Conversations are aimed at understanding patterns and building new skills to change them. When relationships are strained, Allisa helps individuals and couples see triggers as information.
She teaches communication skills to reduce reactivity and to rebuild trust after hurts, including separation or infidelity. People learn ways to talk about difficult topics without escalating conflict. She also works with people facing addiction, career decisions, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges.
Her work with parents emphasizes practical strategies to support children and bring more calm to the household. She blends counseling and coaching to meet both immediate problems and longer-term goals. Allisa’s background includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and experience in addiction treatment settings.
She has additional training in child development and years working in special education and competitive youth sports. That mix of clinical and real-world experience shapes her straightforward, goal-oriented style.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Allisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching methods to make change practical and measurable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage addictive urges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen motivation for change and to plan small, achievable steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as progress happens.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, rapid problem-solving, or when writing feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain momentum between in-depth sessions.
