About Tiniya
Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings seven years of practice to sessions and focuses on work related stress and wellbeing alongside concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. Tiniya aims to build a straightforward, respectful relationship where people feel heard and understood.
She earned a Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work in 2014 and has substantial experience in supportive housing and community settings. Her background includes work with people facing homelessness, health challenges, trauma, and involvement with social services. That hands-on work shaped a practical approach to solving life problems.
Tiniya uses plain language in sessions and listens for what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to respond to individual needs and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that cause distress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help set short-term goals and build momentum.
People who meet with her can expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and goal-setting. She often helps clients address workplace strain, parenting stress, and transitions in young adulthood. Tiniya also supports people coping with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress by working step by step toward manageable change.
Her style is open-minded and nonjudgmental, centered on connection. If you want clear, practical steps and steady support while you work through difficult issues, she can be a collaborator in that process.
How Tiniya's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through stress, work problems, or parenting strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood issues, panic, and workplace stress. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by strengthening personal motivation and building small steps toward goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process often means trying a few methods and adjusting based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats with the therapist before booking. Many people find remote work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can support the same goal-setting, skill-building, and narrative work used in person, while making it easier to attend appointments around work or family commitments.
