About Allisa
Allisa Clodfelter is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She brings eight years of counseling experience alongside work as a life and performance coach. Her style is warm and approachable, and she adapts tools used by elite performers to everyday life.
Parents and people focused on family functioning often find her practical, steady approach easy to follow. She frames therapy as a way to understand how people arrived where they are and to build steps toward change.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make triggers into learning moments and to teach calmer communication during conflict. For relationships she focuses on improving dialogue and unpacking patterns that keep couples stuck. Allisa also supports people dealing with addictions, self-esteem struggles, career choices, and parenting challenges.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University and a Bachelor of Science in psychology with graduate studies in school psychology and child development from Eastern Illinois University. She completed two years of internship work in addiction treatment at Brightview Health in Cincinnati. That clinical and classroom experience informs her hands-on work with families and individuals.
Allisa uses evidence-based methods to build practical skills. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, compassion-focused concepts, motivational interviewing, and relationship-focused approaches. She combines these to create concrete tools clients can use at home.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their routine.
Practical approaches for online family and parenting work
Allisa integrates a few evidence-based approaches into online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and addictive patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation in small steps. She also applies relationship-focused techniques derived from Imago work to improve communication and reduce reactivity between partners.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying techniques in session and adjusting based on what feels useful and doable for each family or individual.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice new skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can use the same practical exercises and homework assignments used in person, while meeting clients where they already are.
