About Clymie
Clymie Allen is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience. She practices in California and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and anger.
She also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep or eating problems, and life transitions. She uses client-centered work to build trust and help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach when people need tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain. Her background includes long-term work in outpatient community settings and with veterans at a VA hospital in Los Angeles. That history gives her experience with trauma, abuse, and the practical stresses of caregiving and medical concerns.
She has also assisted people with blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and aging or geriatric concerns. In sessions she focuses on clear communication and problem-solving. People can expect straightforward discussion, skill-building, and collaborative planning.
She aims to help clients leave sessions with at least one useful step they can try between meetings. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She is licensed as an LCSW and practices from California while maintaining the professional credentials listed.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. Online sessions let the therapist reflect back what matters most and help clients feel understood even when they are not in the same room.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to change patterns of thought and action. In remote sessions that can mean practicing exercises together, reviewing homework, and tracking progress between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or shift unhelpful behaviors.
Existential Therapy helps people explore meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain. That work often involves open conversation about goals and how someone wants to live, which transfers well to video or phone sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls are useful for richer communication and exercises that use visual material. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, share brief updates, and keep momentum on days when a full call isn't possible.
