About Tiniya
Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices from New York. She has seven years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work. Tiniya offers straightforward, respectful support for people facing hard moments.
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk and be heard. Tiniya's early work was in supportive housing. There she supported people living with depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use challenges.
Background and approach
That work also involved helping people with housing transitions, health issues, and reconnecting to work and supports in the community. Her approach values the relationship between therapist and client. She listens closely, asks practical questions, and offers nonjudgmental feedback.
Sessions often focus on building coping skills, managing mood shifts, and addressing stressors that get in the way of daily life. Tiniya uses a mix of therapy methods that fit the person and the problem. She draws on goal-focused strategies to set small steps and on client-centered conversations to follow each person’s priorities.
Motivational techniques are used when people want to make changes but feel stuck. People come to her for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, anger, and problems at work. She also supports those dealing with life changes, money stress, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and messaging. Tiniya describes therapy as a team effort and helps people plan clear next steps they can use between sessions.
Approaches that fit online care
Tiniya often uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions driven by the person's priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening, understanding, and helping people feel heard as they work through problems.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood disturbances, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool she brings when someone wants change but feels unsure how to begin. It involves exploring ambivalence, strengthening motivation, and setting small, achievable goals.
Tiniya treats choice of method as a conversation. She works collaboratively to figure out which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and live chat or text messaging allow quick check-ins or written reflection. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
