Clymie Allen, LCSW

Clymie Allen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of experience. She is licensed in Texas and California and works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anger.

Clymie trained at the University of Southern California where she earned a Master of Social Work. Much of her career has been spent in community outpatient settings and at a VA hospital in Los Angeles, working alongside veterans and their families. That background gives her decades of practical experience with life changes, trauma, and caregiving stress.

She uses client-centered work to listen closely and help people identify what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can practice between meetings.

In session she aims to be direct and solution-oriented while keeping conversations grounded. People often bring problems with communication, control issues, codependency, or the build-up of resentment and anger. She helps them name patterns and try manageable changes that reduce tension in relationships and everyday life.

Clymie also has experience supporting concerns such as adoption and foster care challenges, aging and geriatric issues, cancer caregiving, and recovery from domestic violence and abuse. She works in English and serves clients based in California, using the formats listed on her profile when those are available.
