About Kimberley
Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She uses attachment-informed work to help people understand how their early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. Kimberley also draws on client-centered methods to make sessions respectful and focused on each person’s priorities.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life adjustments.
Background and approach
Kimberley pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical skills, and space to talk things through without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
When trauma is central, she may use tools that address distressing memories and their effects. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She invites people to set the pace, try techniques, and check in about what is or isn’t helpful.
The therapy relationship itself is treated as a place to practice different ways of connecting and coping. Kimberley offers sessions that fit varied schedules and needs and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and practical therapies online
Kimberley blends attachment-based ideas with other practical methods to help people understand patterns and make changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection habits; it can help with trust, intimacy, and patterns that cause repeated conflict or withdrawal. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and creates a respectful space where goals are set together and the therapist follows the person’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors and ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley will discuss options and test what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to make decisions about methods together so clients understand why a technique is being tried and can give feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have more in-depth conversations and use visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or cameras are limited. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflection, and easier scheduling around busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working on attachment issues, coping skills, and everyday challenges.
