Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and offers steady, practical support. Her approach centers on building a trusting connection and listening without judgment.

Before becoming a clinician she completed a Master of Social Work at Silberman School of Social Work in 2014. Much of her career has been in supportive housing settings, helping people facing depression, anxiety and trauma. She has also worked with individuals affected by substance use, serious mental illness, homelessness, interactions with child welfare services, HIV/AIDS, and involvement with the criminal justice system.

In sessions she focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversation. She helps clients identify problems, notice patterns, and pick a few small, doable steps to try. She leans on client-centered ideas and evidence-informed techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Tiniya also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people tell their stories differently and to set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs help finding resolve to change a habit or behavior.

She is experienced supporting people with mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms, anger and impulsivity, and challenges around parenting, family stress, money and work. If someone prefers English language care and lives in New York, she may be a fit. To confirm session options and scheduling, reach out through the service sign-up flow before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to talk through anger, grief, or confusion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and helps people try small behavior and thinking changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to find and strengthen someone’s own reasons for change, useful for working on substance use, impulsivity, or getting unstuck.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those approaches as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats can vary. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on a workday, or allow sessions without travel. Licensed professionals who offer remote care can also guide practical homework and coping steps between appointments to help change carry into daily life.
