About Tiniya

Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of clinical experience based in New York. She invites people to bring real-life struggles into a calm space where they can be heard and understood. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, mood concerns, substance use, trauma, and money and financial issues.

Bolden draws on skills learned during a Master of Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work and years supporting people in housing and community settings. She has worked alongside clients facing depression, bipolar symptoms, panic, post-traumatic stress, and the fallout of domestic violence and family problems. That background informs practical ways she helps people cope.

In sessions she focuses on building a steady connection first. She listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of progress. Then she and the client map small, doable steps to test new ways of handling problems.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. She also uses narrative and solution-focused tools to help people reframe their stories and set clear goals. These methods are applied to everyday issues like workplace stress, parenting strain, impulsivity, and figuring out life purpose.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, collaborative goal-setting, and attention to practical changes that fit their lives. If managing money or financial worries is part of the strain, she will include that in sessions alongside other concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supported so they can explore what matters to them and decide which changes feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behavior interact. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps, such as quitting substances or changing spending habits. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration guides which tools are used over time. For practical online details, please confirm current session options before booking. This therapist's profile notes availability across different times of day, and sessions are scheduled to fit around work, family, or school commitments. Online therapy can make it easier to fit check-ins into a busy day, allow shorter phone or video check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on progress rather than logistics.
