About Kimberley
Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based therapy to help people manage strong emotions and life challenges. She brings 25 years of experience and a calm, direct approach to sessions. Kimberley aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and take steps toward feeling better.
She combines attachment-based work with cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. That mix helps people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and then try small, doable behavior changes.
Background and approach
Kimberley also uses dialectical skills for emotional regulation and EMDR techniques for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, ADHD, grief, addictions, body image, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and recovery from domestic violence.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools for daily life. Kimberley has worked with adolescents and adults across many settings over her career. She favors short, focused interventions when that fits a person's goals and longer work when deeper processing is needed.
She explains techniques plainly and checks in often to make sure work feels useful. People can expect straightforward communication, gentle challenge when needed, and a plan tailored to their situation. Kimberley encourages small steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kimberley draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She checks progress regularly and adjusts techniques so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues for relationship and trauma work, phone can be a simpler check-in, live chat suits quick exchanges, and text messaging supports short, on-the-go reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or medical schedules while maintaining treatment continuity.
