About Tiniya

Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She earned her Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work and has focused much of her career supporting people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance-related concerns, and complex life changes.

Tiniya's background includes extensive work in supportive housing settings where she supported individuals and families navigating health and mental health challenges, housing instability, and reentry after incarceration. Her approach emphasizes a strong therapeutic connection, attentive listening, and nonjudgmental feedback.

Tiniya draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to help clients explore perspectives, build coping skills, and address mood and stress-related problems. She also uses narrative and motivational interviewing techniques when appropriate to help clients clarify values and goals.

Clients who seek practical strategies for coping, clearer thinking about life purpose and finances, or focused support around trauma, panic, or relationship stress may find her style grounded and collaborative. Tiniya offers multiple session formats to fit different needs and works with each person to determine useful next steps.

Approaches that guide online care and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own perspective, offering empathy and support to help someone explore feelings and choices; it can be useful for concerns like self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior and mood, which is often applied for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational style that helps people resolve ambivalence and move toward meaningful change, often useful for addictions, impulsivity, or readiness to address life goals.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend elements from different methods to create a personalized plan. That ongoing collaboration helps shape session focus and the techniques used over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person options aren’t available. These formats support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to deliver structured, skills-based work, reflective conversations, and practical problem solving in ways that match the client’s life and communication style.
