About Kimberley
Kimberley Slown uses a blend of talk-based and trauma-informed methods to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience and works from Tennessee. Kimberley focuses on practical skills and steady support so people can make clearer choices and feel steadier day to day.
She commonly helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues.
How Kimberley works
Kimberley pays attention to issues around identity, caregiver strain, body image, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress. Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR for trauma processing. In sessions she mixes skills training, emotional processing, and practical problem solving.
The goal is to build tools people can use between sessions so progress carries into daily life. Kimberley aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and set achievable goals. She often helps clients untangle communication and commitment struggles, codependency patterns, and the impacts of abandonment or blended family dynamics.
Her approach is clear and steady, with attention to each person's pace. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered through subscription-based sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online work can use reflective conversation to identify attachment needs and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which fits well with homework and short exercises between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process upsetting memories; when appropriate, clinicians adapt pacing and methods to work over video or phone in manageable steps.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the nature of their difficulties. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, relationship patterns, or trauma processing and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit around busy schedules or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily demands while keeping continuity of care.
