About Kiley

Kiley Fields is a licensed master social worker who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary way to approach stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and depression. She keeps a relaxed, nonjudgmental tone so people can feel more at ease when they first begin. Kiley draws on five years of clinical experience and lived experience with ADHD in her own family to inform practical, down-to-earth support.

Kiley uses straightforward conversations to uncover patterns that keep people stuck. She often helps people notice how thoughts shape behavior and then practices small changes that lead to different results. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced by the person’s comfort level rather than a rigid script.

Her background includes work in community mental health and roles that ranged from direct therapy to management. While completing a Master of Social Work she also provided individual and group therapy in a substance abuse setting, which adds to her experience with varied concerns and treatment settings.

Kiley works with a broad set of concerns including compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, and life purpose questions. She also addresses communication problems, body image, guilt and shame, hoarding, and isolation or loneliness.

People can expect practical tools rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside CBT techniques. Kiley aims to help people find manageable steps they can use between sessions to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing Help Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when life feels stuck or when chronic health problems make planning and motivation hard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building practical coping skills for daily routines.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful when someone feels uncertain about steps they want to take, like starting new routines or sticking with health-related plans.

Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will adapt methods from ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing to fit the person's needs.

Session logistics can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know what is offered. Online options can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
