Kiley Fields, LMSW

Kiley Fields is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who leans on practical, behavior-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and depression. She keeps sessions relaxed and nonjudgmental so talking about hard things feels easier. Kiley draws on five years of clinical experience and on personal experience caring for family members with ADHD.

Kiley favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but she blends other approaches when they fit. In sessions she looks at how thoughts and actions interact and works with people to try small, doable changes. She has experience writing behavior plans and using them with people who have challenging behaviors.

Her background includes work in community mental health and time providing individual and group therapy in a substance use clinic during her social work training. That mix gave her experience with a range of concerns including depression, OCD, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and intellectual disability.

Kiley aims to reduce the worry people often feel before starting therapy. She takes a laid-back style and lets clients guide the pace and focus of sessions. Her approach is practical and straightforward, with attention to what people actually want to change.

Outside of work she lives in Michigan with her husband and children and cares for lots of animals. Her day-to-day life informs how she helps people manage caregiving stress, impulsivity, and the everyday demands of parenting.

How Kiley’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and focuses on small, practical changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone clarify what they want and build motivation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kiley works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She blends techniques when needed and checks in regularly to adjust direction based on progress and feedback.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue work on behavior and thought patterns between sessions, since exercises and real-life practice can happen where life actually happens.
