About Kimberley
Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and improve sleep and daily routines. Kimberley aims to make sessions feel straightforward and supportive for someone worried about rest, mood, or coping with life changes.
She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and attachment-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions often include skills for calming the body, adjusting thoughts that interfere with sleep, and planning routines that support better rest. EMDR and dialectical behavior strategies are also part of her toolkit for handling trauma, strong emotions, and difficult memories.
Kimberley has long experience with concerns like depression, grief, addiction, and relationship stress. She also addresses parenting strains, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues around identity and intimacy. Her background includes work with people navigating adoption, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics.
People who meet with Kimberley can expect a collaborative process. She listens first, then suggests practical exercises to try between sessions. Progress is tracked in small, measurable steps so people can see what helps.

How Kimberley’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns that affect sleep, safety, and emotional rhythm by looking at past and current connections.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT offers hands-on tools for changing unhelpful thought patterns, improving sleep habits, and reducing anxiety that keeps someone awake.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories and the strong emotions tied to them. When trauma affects rest or causes night-time distress, EMDR techniques can be used to lessen that intensity as part of a broader plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling to sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and sleep-related strategies to work well in remote sessions, helping people practice skills between meetings and track small improvements over time.
