About Kimberley
Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She uses approaches that focus on understanding relationships and patterns to help people manage anxiety, stress, and trauma. Her style aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful so people can talk openly about hard things.
She draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how past relationships shape present worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to teach practical skills for managing mood, sleep, and attention.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is incorporated when trauma memories need targeted care. Kimberley works with adults and adolescents on issues such as depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing family stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and concerns about body image or eating.
She mentions experience with adoption and attachment challenges as well. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Expect straightforward conversations, concrete strategies, and attention to safety when trauma is involved.
The focus is on what helps in day-to-day life and on skills that can be practiced between sessions. She practices from Tennessee and offers help in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions at times that fit both parties.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating to reduce anxiety and repeating cycles. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's pace and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people set practical steps that feel doable in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online format CBT provides tools and short exercises that clients can use between sessions to improve mood, sleep, and focus.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can blend approaches as needed so the plan stays flexible and based on what is working for the client.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist observe nonverbal cues and run longer skills sessions. Phone sessions work well when a quieter connection or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework questions, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
