About Tiniya
Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk about hard things and find new ways forward. She completed a Master of Social Work at the Silberman School of Social Work in 2014 and has worked extensively in supportive housing settings.
Her background includes helping people managing depression, anxiety and stress, trauma and abuse, substance use, and serious mental health concerns.
How Tiniya works
Her work has included support around housing instability, reintegration after incarceration, and health-related challenges. Tiniya’s approach centers on building a strong connection with each person. She listens closely, offers nonjudgmental feedback, and helps people consider different perspectives when they feel stuck.
She uses practical methods aimed at real-life problems rather than abstract theory. Therapeutic tools she commonly uses include client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused methods. These approaches help with mood concerns, panic, coping after trauma, substance-related issues, and everyday stressors like money and workplace struggles.
People often come for help with self-esteem, anger, parenting stress, relationship and family problems, or finding direction and purpose. Tiniya supports those facing life transitions and helps them build coping skills and clear, manageable steps toward change.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and supporting clients as they decide what matters most and what changes feel doable. This approach helps when someone needs validation and a steady supportive presence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and everyday stressors that interfere with daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their readiness to change and strengthens personal motivation. It uses questions and reflection to uncover what matters most and to set manageable next steps for issues like substance use, impulsivity, or lifestyle choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods when needed, and adapt based on what works best for each person. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth conversation and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging suits quick reflections or when someone prefers written communication. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules and keep continuity of care across locations.
