Allisa Clodfelter , LPCC

Allisa Clodfelter is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a life and performance coach who blends counseling with practical coaching skills to help people and couples reach higher levels of functioning. She brings a warm and approachable manner to work with couples, individuals, athletes, and executives, applying strategies drawn from elite performance coaching to everyday life and relationships. Allisa emphasizes that therapy is not only for crisis situations but can support anyone seeking to become their best self, helping clients trace how they arrived at current patterns and build a clear path toward desired changes.

Her work with couples focuses on turning emotional triggers into opportunities for learning and developing calmer, clearer communication through conflict, including challenges such as infidelity. She regularly supports couples in crisis, those preparing for marriage, and individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, addictive behaviors, and major life transitions such as divorce and dating. Athletes and executives consult with her for performance-related anxiety, recovery from injury, or next-level performance goals, and she also works with coaches and parents of student athletes to improve support and outcomes.

Allisa earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH, and a Bachelor of Science in psychology with graduate studies in school psychology and advanced child development from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL. Her clinical background includes two years of internship experience in addiction treatment at BrightView Health in Cincinnati and eight years of experience in private practice work with individuals, couples, families, and athletes. She also has twelve years of experience in special education and early childhood development classrooms and six years as a competitive girls volleyball coach and student advocate. Allisa is a mother and a grandmother and brings that life perspective to her therapeutic and coaching work.

Integrating Evidence-Based Techniques into Online Care

Allisa often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - an approach useful for anxiety, depression, and performance concerns. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and strengthen internal motivation for change, which is especially relevant in work around addictions and lifestyle shifts. For couples, Allisa applies elements of Imago Relationship Therapy to improve empathy, deepen understanding, and guide partners toward more effective communication and conflict resolution.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Allisa works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining strategies from different modalities as appropriate to support progress.

Online therapy with Allisa is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on relationships, recovery, performance, and personal growth while attending sessions from home, work, or on the go.
