Kimberley Slown, LCSW

Kimberley Slown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She draws on 25 years of experience to guide conversations and offer tools that fit everyday life. Kimberley focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about hard things.

She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change behavior. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current connections. Client-centered methods keep sessions focused on the client’s goals and pace.

Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse work, as well as supporting people with ADHD, addictions, grief, and issues around identity and relationships. Kimberley also addresses concerns such as parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

Sessions may include skills practice, emotion regulation exercises, gentle processing of past events, and collaborative problem solving. She works with adolescents and adults and adapts pace and techniques to each person’s needs.

Kimberley holds a Tennessee Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and brings a steady, respectful style to sessions. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to connect.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kimberley frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and behavior patterns that create ongoing stress.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. That approach can help with communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns. Client-centered work keeps sessions driven by the client’s goals, offering a supportive space for people to set their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to try first. The process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, follow-up, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and geographic constraints.
