Kiley Fields, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Kiley

Kiley Fields is a licensed master social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Kiley keeps sessions relaxed and informal so talking feels easier.

She draws on five years of clinical work and agency experience in Michigan. Kiley spent much of her career at a community mental health agency where she served in several roles, including providing therapy and later moving into management.

Background and approach

While finishing her Master of Social Work she completed an internship at a substance use clinic offering individual and group support. That variety gave her hands-on practice with concerns such as depression, anxiety, obsessive behaviors, autism spectrum conditions, intellectual disability, and substance use. In sessions she tends toward CBT because she finds it useful for shifting thoughts that maintain unwanted behaviors.

She also uses ACT and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit better for a person's goals. Kiley has experience creating behavioral plans and supporting people through changes in daily routines. She aims to reduce the worry that often comes with starting therapy by providing a nonjudgmental, low-pressure space.

Her style is laid-back and client-led, with attention to what each person needs in the moment. Kiley is based in Michigan and offers work informed by both professional and personal experience.

Therapeutic methods adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversational approach that supports a person's own reasons for change and can help when motivation feels low or uncertain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kiley will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and day-to-day schedule. She adapts techniques from these approaches rather than sticking to one rigid method, and she checks in regularly to make sure the plan feels useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around school, work, and family life and offer more ways to stay connected between meetings. The flexible formats also make it easier to try different techniques and keep momentum when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
