About Kiley
Kiley Fields is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with five years of direct clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and lists stress, anxiety, parenting, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among her main concerns. Kiley also notes work with guilt and shame and a wide range of related issues such as body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and isolation.
She spent much of her career at a community mental health agency where she filled several roles, including providing therapy and developing behavioral plans. That background includes experience with depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, autism spectrum differences, and intellectual disabilities. While completing her Master of Social Work she interned in a substance use clinic and ran individual and group work there.
Kiley favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach but does not rely on it alone. She is interested in behavior and in how changing thoughts can shift actions. She has used behavior analysis and created behavioral plans for people with challenging behaviors.
In session she keeps things laid back and lets clients guide the process. She aims to reduce the anxiety of starting therapy and does not use a highly formal style. She also draws on personal experience living with family members who have ADHD and managing social anxiety herself.
Her work often addresses practical problems people bring in: communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and life purpose questions. People looking to work on feelings of guilt and shame or on everyday struggles with mood and focus may find her approach straightforward and practical.
How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing shape remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and then taking actions that matter despite difficult feelings. It can be useful when guilt or shame get in the way of what someone wants to do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical tools to test and shift thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify a person's reasons for change and builds motivation one step at a time, which can help with habits tied to shame or avoidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kiley will work with clients to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches rather than following a rigid script, and she checks in to adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins, and letting people join from a quieter spot when needed. These practical benefits often make regular sessions simpler to schedule alongside work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
