About Kiley
Kiley Fields is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She leans on cognitive behavioral approaches while also drawing from Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful. Kiley aims to make therapy low-pressure and easy to enter for people feeling nervous about reaching out.
She has five years of experience providing therapy and additional years working in community mental health. That background includes roles offering individual and group work, management duties, and hands-on experience with behavior support plans. Kiley has worked with people affected by depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and intellectual disability.
In session she focuses on how thoughts shape behavior and looks for practical steps clients can try between meetings. She favors a conversational, laid-back approach and lets clients guide the pace and topics. The goal is to reduce anxiety about therapy and create a nonjudgmental space to talk through real problems.
Common concerns Kiley helps people with include stress, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and life-direction questions. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness or pain, caregiver strain, body image issues, and relationship communication problems. Her lived experience with family members who have ADHD informs her practical perspective.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion, goal-focused techniques from CBT and ACT, and collaborative use of Motivational Interviewing when change feels difficult. Kiley works in English and practices from Michigan.

How Kiley Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation one step at a time. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while identifying values that guide action. ACT can help when people feel stuck by anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks directly at how thoughts influence behavior and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kiley will work with each person to try approaches and see what fits their goals and preferences. She blends methods rather than sticking strictly to one model so clients can find what helps in day-to-day life.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist. Many people find remote therapy easier to fit into work, caregiving, or busy schedules because it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Kiley about practical scheduling needs and what will work best for regular sessions. -
