About Kiley

Kiley Fields is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She favors cognitive behavioral work while blending other approaches to meet each person where they are. Kiley writes in a calm, conversational way and aims to make first sessions less intimidating for people who feel nervous about starting therapy.

She brings five years of direct clinical experience alongside broader agency leadership work in Michigan. That background includes supporting people with ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, autism spectrum differences, and intellectual disability. Kiley has run individual and group sessions and has experience creating behavioral plans for people with challenging behaviors.

Kiley often focuses on how thoughts shape behavior and uses that insight to help people try new responses. She also uses acceptance-based ideas to help clients live according to their values, and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. Sessions tend to be relaxed and client-led rather than rigidly structured.

As someone with family members who have ADHD and personal experience with social anxiety, Kiley draws on practical life knowledge as well as clinical experience. She also spent time providing services in a substance use clinic during her MSW internship, which included group work.

Her practice aims to be approachable and nonjudgmental. People looking for help with caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, body image, or feelings of isolation may find her style fits their needs.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing Help Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It can be useful for people dealing with anxiety, stress, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and routines, often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to make changes and build momentum at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as progress or challenges appear.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also supports continuing care when life circumstances change, while still focusing on real, practical steps people can take between meetings.
