About Tiniya

Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice in New York. She earned a Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work in 2014 and has spent much of her career supporting people in supportive housing and community settings.

She greets each client with openness and steady attention to what matters most in their life right now. Her work focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, mood and panic symptoms, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also helps with issues such as addictions, anger, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose and finances. Young adult issues, workplace problems, parenting concerns, and family conflict are part of her caseload as well. Tiniya uses straightforward, conversation-based approaches.

She listens first, then helps people find practical steps that fit their situation. Techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are mixed with client-centered and solution-focused conversations to build momentum toward change. In session she aims to offer nonjudgmental feedback and new perspectives when people feel stuck.

Her background includes working with people impacted by homelessness, substance use, criminal justice involvement, HIV/AIDS, and complex life stressors, which shaped a pragmatic, person-focused style. She provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find her style easy to work with.

Online support

How Tiniya blends approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflections that help people feel heard and make their own decisions about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, low mood, and unhelpful thought patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses focused questions and reflection to build the person's own reasons for change, which can be useful for addictions, impulsivity, or confidence to take practical steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
