Kiley Fields

Kiley Fields is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, and includes life purpose among her areas of focus. Kiley draws on practical therapy methods to help people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. That work pairs with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to help people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. Motivational Interviewing appears in sessions when someone needs help finding the next step or building commitment to change. Kiley has worked in community mental health settings and in management roles while continuing to provide direct care. That background includes experience with autism spectrum conditions, intellectual disability, trauma, OCD, substance use issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She has also developed behavior plans and used behavioral approaches with people who had challenging behaviors. Her style is relaxed rather than highly structured. Sessions tend to follow the client’s lead while using practical tools from CBT and ACT when they fit. She says she understands the awkwardness of starting therapy and tries to reduce that stress so people can talk through immediate concerns. Kiley lives in Michigan with her family and many pets. She has personal experience supporting family members with ADHD and says that perspective informs how she helps others manage daily demands and parenting challenges.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that align with what matters, which can help when someone is unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions usually include simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that supports commitment to change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation one step at a time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kiley treats the choice of method as collaborative, using conversations in early sessions to see which tools fit a person’s goals and preferences. She can bring in ACT, CBT, or brief motivational techniques depending on needs and what feels practical for the client.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent while they test new steps toward clarity and purpose.
