Clymie has helped me a lot in such a short amount of time. I can honestly say I feel very heard while talking to her. She remembers all the stories and experiences I have which makes me feel like she really puts in the effort to listen to me. Clymie asks questions about things that I don’t really think of but they help me realize a lot of things. I highly recommend her!

ABOUT ME

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of California and Texas, with over 40 years of experience working with veterans and their families at the VA hospital in Los Angeles and with adults, children, adolescents and the elderly in an out-patient community setting. I earned a master of social work degree from (USC) University of Southern California in Los Angeles. I am a compassionate, emphatic, and solution-oriented professional dedicated to providing exceptional care and implementing effective treatment to my clients. I specialize in developing healthy relationships, coping with life transitions, treating symptoms of depression and anxiety from a variety of sources. I thrive at being an effective communicator, motivator, and advocate with the ability to establish rapport quickly, build trust, interact with and relate to individuals on all levels.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
