About Kiley
Kiley Fields is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and parenting challenges. She favors a down-to-earth style and aims to make sessions feel calm and low-pressure for people who are already nervous about starting therapy.
Kiley leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but she blends other methods when it fits each person. She pays attention to behavior and the thoughts that drive it, and she works with clients to test small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions usually move at the client’s pace rather than following a rigid script. Her background includes work in community mental health where she provided individual therapy and helped design behavioral plans for people with challenging behaviors. She also completed an internship in a substance abuse clinic where she ran individual and group sessions.
That mix of direct service and program work shapes a practical approach in therapy. Kiley brings both professional and personal experience to her practice. She has supported people with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, intellectual disability, and trauma in community settings, and she has firsthand experience supporting family members with ADHD.
She aims to reduce the stress of starting therapy and to create a nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. Outside of work she lives in Michigan with her family and a large menagerie of pets. Her style is relaxed, straightforward, and focused on small, useful changes that fit into a client’s real life.
How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life-direction concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT with Kiley typically involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying brief experiments to change behavior in everyday situations, useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for increasing motivation around habits, managing impulsivity, or addressing substance-related goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kiley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. She adjusts techniques based on what helps in real life, and clients help steer the plan as they go.
Online sessions allow flexibility in how therapy happens. Video calls are good for a full face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around family, work, and daily life while still using the chosen therapeutic methods.
