About Kimberley

Kimberley Slown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, and intimacy-related problems. Kimberley also addresses eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with major life changes.

She uses practical therapies such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered work, and attachment-based approaches. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps clients can use between meetings. Conversations aim to identify patterns, develop coping tools, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.

Kimberley has long experience helping people with additional stresses like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver strain, attachment and communication problems, chronic illness, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence. She also works with concerns around body image and commitment issues.

Her style is practical and straightforward. Kimberley helps people talk through painful events, practice new skills, and plan achievable changes. She works with adolescents and adults to set goals and track progress.

To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and Kimberley is based in Tennessee.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; online sessions use conversation and exercises to name those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the client's own goals and perspective, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping clients clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can include short practice tasks between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kimberley will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision happens in early meetings and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into work or family schedules and the option for shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to confirm which session formats she offers, check the online therapy options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to continue therapy during busy periods and to bring real-life concerns into the session for immediate problem-solving.
