About Kimberley

Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of professional experience who blends evidence-based therapies to address stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She uses approaches such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT to tailor interventions that match each person’s needs and preferences, drawing on a long history of clinical work in Tennessee. Her practice emphasizes practical skills and processing strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She offers a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore issues including relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, addiction, self-esteem, and a wide range of life transitions. Additional focus areas include attachment and adoption-related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Kimberley presents therapy as a collaborative effort, helping people identify goals, practice coping tools, and build healthier patterns over time.

Integrating proven approaches in online care



Kimberley commonly uses EMDR to help process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact, and she applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathic environment that prioritizes each person's experience and goals. These approaches are presented in straightforward terms so clients understand the rationale and steps involved.

Deciding which method fits best is part of the collaborative work. Kimberley partners with clients to assess needs, try suitable strategies, and adapt the plan as progress unfolds, emphasizing shared decision making about goals and techniques.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to engage from different locations and schedules. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and convenient access to a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
