About Tiniya

Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in New York and works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life stressors. Her background includes supporting people through substance concerns, relationship stress, and transitions. She aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in 2014. Much of her work has been in supportive housing settings where she supported people with a wide range of challenges, including mental health diagnoses, housing instability, and legal or child welfare involvement. That experience shaped her practical approach to everyday problems.

In sessions she focuses on building a strong connection and listening carefully. She emphasizes open-minded feedback and practical steps clients can try between meetings. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and test small changes.

Motivational interviewing and narrative work are part of her toolbox when people need help clarifying goals or reshaping unhelpful stories they tell themselves. She also brings trauma-informed thinking to conversations about past hurt and recovery. Her goal is to meet people where they are and help them find workable next steps.

Many clients seek her help for mood disorders, panic, workplace stress, and parenting strains. She encourages people to reach out when life feels overwhelming and to try a few different approaches until they find what fits.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on hearing the person without judgment and letting the client steer what feels most important. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers straightforward tools to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making shifts around substance use, routines, or other goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try options and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits let people keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and other demands.
