About Tiniya
Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her background includes working with people struggling with substance use, depression, bipolar disorder, and life changes.
Before moving into therapy work, she earned her Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work in 2014. Much of her career has been in supportive housing settings where she helped people with complex needs, such as histories of homelessness, health challenges, or involvement with child welfare systems. That experience shaped her focus on practical daily challenges as well as longer-term recovery and stability.
In sessions she emphasizes listening and offering straightforward, nonjudgmental feedback. She uses approaches that center the client’s perspective and looks for concrete steps to reduce distress. She draws on methods that can change thinking patterns, clarify goals, and motivate small behavior changes.
She often helps people who are navigating parenting stress, workplace strain, financial pressure, impulsivity, or problems tied to past trauma. Her work also covers mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress when those concerns show up in day-to-day life.
Tiniya encourages clients to try different strategies and find what fits their life. For practical next steps she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings, figure out priorities, and feel heard while making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and address patterns that feed anger or panic.
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It is useful when someone wants to cut back on substance use, tackle impulsive choices, or build motivation for new habits.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try approaches that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process guides adjustments over time rather than promising a single technique will solve everything.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list explicit formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be in a particular building. Talk with the therapist during the matching and scheduling steps to decide how sessions can best fit the client’s routine and needs.
