Clymie Allen, LCSW

Clymie Allen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and California with 40 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, trauma and a wide range of life changes.

Clymie uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most troubling. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps people try specific steps that can change daily routines and reactions.

Her background includes long-term work in outpatient community settings and with veterans at a VA hospital in Los Angeles. That mix means she has experience across age groups and in settings where practical problems are often part of the clinical picture.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to test unhelpful thinking and to build different coping habits. She adds existential questions when people need to weigh values, meaning, and life direction.

Clymie often addresses concrete concerns such as sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, anger, communication problems, and challenges that come after loss or separation. She also supports people facing medical or caregiving strain and those managing longer-term mood conditions.

Her approach is practical and direct. She helps people set achievable steps, track what changes, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
