01 · Who Allisa works with
Allisa lists 5 specialisms and 4 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Allisa chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Allisa's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and a life and performance coach. I am best known for my versatility in working with couples, life coaching individuals, and performance coaching with athletes and executives (and a warm and approachable demeanor).
As a counselor, I advocate that understanding ourselves and our relationships better is not just for those in crisis. I believe counseling can help everyone be their most elite selves. I adapt the skills elite athletes use for everyday life. I help folks understand how they came to be where they are and how to bridge the gap to where they would like to be.
For couples, I offer pathways to letting triggers become teachers. I unravel the mystery of calm communication through conflict, even infidelity, and a perspective that allows a much more profound understanding of what is really going on.
I regularly work with:
couples in crisis couples seeking pre-marital counseling individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and addictive behaviors across the lifespan folks navigating divorce, dating, and life transitions athletes experiencing performance anxiety, addictive behaviors or clinical issues, seeking next level performance, or returning from injury Coaches and parents of student athletes looking to provide next level support Parents seeking understanding and skills to best prepare their children for the slings and arrows of life and give them the ability to thrive; not to mention help their households find more peace and harmony Education, Experience, and Expertise:
Master of Arts in clinical counseling from Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH
Bachelor of Science in psychology and graduate studies in school psychology and advanced child development from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL
Eight years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and athletes in private practice setting

03 · What happens next
Allisa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Allisa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Allisa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Allisa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Allisa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
