Alexandra (Allie) Cappelli, M.Ed, LPCC-S
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect it to. Relationships evolve in unexpected ways, our bodies can leave us feeling disconnected from the life we envisioned, and sometimes the ways we’ve learned to cope no longer serve us. You don’t have to navigate those seasons alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you find your way forward.
I’m Allie, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor (LPCC-S) with nearly 10 years of experience working with individuals and couples. My experience spans hospital settings, community mental health, and private practice, giving me the opportunity to support people through a wide range of life experiences and challenges.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, perfectionism, grief, relationship concerns, and women’s health experiences. I understand that these concerns rarely exist in isolation, and therapy can be a space to explore how our thoughts, emotions, relationships, physical health, and life experiences all intersect.
Relationships can be both one of our greatest sources of connection and one of our greatest sources of stress. I enjoy helping couples strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, navigate conflict, and rebuild trust. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, infertility, parenting stress, betrayal, or simply feeling disconnected from one another, therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand the patterns you’ve fallen into, and begin finding your way forward.
I’m especially passionate about supporting women navigating reproductive, hormonal, and pelvic health concerns. Whether you’re experiencing infertility, pregnancy or pregnancy loss, PCOS, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, or adjusting to changes in your body and health, these experiences can impact far more than physical well-being. They can affect your identity, relationships, mental health, and the way you imagined your life unfolding.
My work in this area is informed by both clinical experience and deep personal understanding. I strive to create a space where you don’t have to minimize how difficult these experiences can be or explain why they affect so many different parts of your life.
Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, compassionate, and easy to talk to. My goal isn’t to simply sit back and listen—I’ll be engaged, ask questions, offer perspective, challenge patterns when it may be helpful, and probably bring some humor into the room along the way.
My approach is individualized and evidence-based, helping clients better understand themselves and the thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and patterns that influence their emotional well-being. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Family Systems approaches, and mindfulness-based interventions while tailoring therapy to the person or couple sitting in front of me.
Ultimately, I want therapy to feel like a collaborative relationship where you feel supported and understood while also being encouraged to grow, try something different, and build a life and relationships that feel more aligned with who you are.
Outside of the therapy office, you’ll often find me spending time with my three dogs—Izzie, Arlo, and Kora—exploring the outdoors around Northeast Ohio, reading, crafting, or finding joy through movement. I believe self-care isn’t about perfection; it’s about intentionally making space for the people, places, and activities that help us feel grounded, connected, and present.
Whenever you are ready, I look forward to meeting you and seeing where our work together takes us.
