Looks like
coherent
logical and consistent; able to speak or think clearly
⚠️ The trap
True cognate but different emphasis. Italian 'coerente' primarily means morally/behaviourally consistent (practising what you preach). English 'coherent' primarily means logically clear. 'Coerente' for 'clear-headed' exists but is less common.
To say "logical and consistent; able to speak or think clearly" in Italian:
coerente (true cognate but Italian focuses on moral consistency)
"coerente" in English means:
consistent, coherent, acting in line with one's stated values
Example
"Almeno è coerente — fa sempre quello che dice."
"At least he is consistent — he always does what he says."
