About Kiley

Kiley Fields is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with five years of direct clinical experience. She practices from Michigan and works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Kiley also lists life purpose among her focus areas and addresses a wide range of related concerns.

Kiley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work. She often leans on CBT to look at how thoughts influence behavior and to try practical changes. She combines these approaches with a relaxed, client-led style so conversations feel less formal and more conversational.

Before offering therapy on the side, Kiley spent many years at a community mental health agency where she held several roles including providing therapy and management. She has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum differences, and intellectual disability. While completing her MSW she also worked with a substance use clinic offering individual and group work.

Kiley has hands-on experience creating behavioral plans for people with challenging behaviors and has used behavior analysis alongside CBT in those roles. She draws on personal experience too; several family members have ADHD, and she knows some of the practical adjustments that can help day-to-day routines.

Her conversational approach aims to reduce the extra worry people bring into a first session. She tends to let clients set the pace and focuses on realistic, manageable steps rather than rigid structure.

How cognitive and value-based approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for people who feel stuck, uncertain about priorities, or overwhelmed by competing demands. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought that influence behavior and testing practical ways to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related habits. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs and circumstances change. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a day, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. Others prefer a session where they can be on camera for face-to-face interaction. Discussing practical needs up front helps match session length and style to everyday life without promising a particular format.
