Anjelica M. Nelson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor–Supervisor (LPCC-S) and Independent Marriage and Family Therapist–Supervisor (IMFT-S) in Cleveland, Ohio. She is the founder of Rising Rose Relational Therapy, where she provides couples, family, and individual therapy by telehealth for clients anywhere in Ohio, and clinical training supervision for Ohio LPCs and MFTs.
Anjelica works with relationships: between partners, within families, and the ones a single person carries into every part of life. She founded and built Rising Rose Relational Therapy so her clients could have the care she believed was possible in a practice she built herself. The person you meet on the fit call is the therapist you will work with.
Background
Anjelica holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Akron and earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Sciences at The Ohio State University. Her clinical experience since 2016 has included in-home therapy, community mental health counseling, and private practice work. She has been a therapist in Akron and Cleveland agencies and practices where she has grown into supervisory and director roles. Each position has uniquely assisted in building Anjelica’s repertoire, leading her to the inception of Rising Rose Relational Therapy.
Licenses and Publications
She holds two Ohio licenses, each with a training supervision designation: Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor–Supervisor (LPCC-S) and Independent Marriage and Family Therapist–Supervisor (IMFT-S). She is a co-author of “Systemic Supervision,” published in Family Therapy Magazine.

Outside the therapy room
