Allisa Clodfelter

Allisa Clodfelter is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with eight years of clinical experience. She blends counseling and life coaching to help people move from where they are to where they want to be. Her approach is warm and approachable, and she often draws on strategies used by elite performers to support everyday goals.

She helps people who are managing addictions, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and career decisions. Divorce and separation, impulsivity, and issues around narcissism are also areas she commonly addresses. Women’s issues are listed among her additional areas of focus.

Allisa frames difficult moments as opportunities to learn. With couples, she emphasizes turning triggers into lessons and creating calmer communication during conflict. For individuals she combines coaching tools and counseling to improve performance, reduce anxiety, and address addictive behavior.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University and a Bachelor of Science in psychology with graduate coursework in school psychology and child development from Eastern Illinois University. She also completed two years of internship experience in addiction treatment and has substantial experience in special education and coaching.

Sessions aim to clarify how a person arrived at a problem and to map practical steps toward change. She commonly works on concrete skills - communication strategies, coping tools, and goal-focused plans - so clients can apply them between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based techniques mentioned in her background include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change, which can be useful for addictions and impulsive habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and may combine coaching tools with counseling techniques to match what feels most useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work, parenting, or training. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and motivational interviewing to remote sessions so that practical skill-building and goal planning continue to move forward.
