Kiley Fields, LMSW

Kiley Fields is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach. She aims to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through worries and make gradual changes. Kiley draws on her practical experience and personal perspective to help clients tackle stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD concerns.

She has worked in community mental health for several years in multiple roles, including direct therapy and program management. That background gave her exposure to many needs, such as trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, autism spectrum differences, and intellectual disability. While completing her MSW she also interned in a substance use clinic and led individual and group work there.

Kiley tends to favor CBT because she is interested in how behavior links to thinking and how small shifts can change outcomes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit a person’s goals. Her style is laid back and client-led rather than highly structured.

She describes herself as practical and down to earth. Kiley uses her own family experience with ADHD and occasional social anxiety to inform a compassionate, realistic approach. She emphasizes making therapy approachable for people who feel nervous about opening up to a new clinician.

Kiley practices in Michigan and speaks English. She works to help people with long-term health conditions, caregiver strain, communication problems, body image concerns, and life-purpose questions alongside her primary focus areas.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Kiley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or challenging routines and offers tools to test new ways of coping.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and build readiness to try new strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kiley will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix fits best based on their goals and everyday needs. The choice can shift over time as progress and priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels like too much. They can also be adjusted to match energy levels, reduce screen time, or accommodate times when being on camera is difficult.
