About Kimberley
Kimberley Slown offers a practical, person-centered approach to therapy. She combines compassionate listening with techniques that help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. Kimberley uses straightforward language and short-term skills alongside deeper work to meet each person where they are.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change and builds simple steps to get there.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and habits. She also uses attachment-based ideas to help repair patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. For people recovering from trauma Kimberley offers approaches that aim to reduce distress and restore daily functioning.
That may include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate, alongside grounding and emotion-regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She frames these techniques in plain language and practices them at a pace the person can manage. Kimberley has helped people with a wide range of concerns over her career, including addiction, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, grief, and chronic illness challenges.
She supports people across sexual orientations and identity questions, and she helps individuals facing life transitions or compassion fatigue. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Kimberley integrates attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy into online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connection and trust, and it helps people change patterns that harm intimacy. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on practical skills to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. That approach teaches concrete breathing, distress-tolerance, and communication skills that people can practice between sessions. Choosing the right approach is a shared process; the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work with body language and interactive tools. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send brief check-ins or continue work between meetings. These options support flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or health needs.
