About Kimberley

Kimberley Slown is a Tennessee Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, and anger. She works with adults and adolescents on relationship, parenting, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions also address grief, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach puts the person at the center of care. She uses client-centered methods so people can talk through what matters to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to manage intense emotions.

For trauma-related problems she includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work around relationship patterns and long-standing trust issues. Treatment plans are practical and focused on small steps that fit into day-to-day life.

Kimberley works with a wide range of concerns beyond the headline topics. These include eating and sleeping problems, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues around adoption and attachment. She also supports people coping with divorce, separation, and domestic violence consequences.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice repeated ways they react to others. Online sessions can use this approach to look at communication habits, trust issues, and how past relationships affect current ones.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the center. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the client set the pace. This approach is useful for topics like grief, identity concerns, and building self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT commonly uses practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to test what helps most based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can begin in the first few sessions and be adjusted over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use skills learned in therapy during everyday routines, such as practicing breathing or grounding exercises between sessions.
