About Tiniya

Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She trained at Silberman School of Social Work where she completed a Master of Social Work in clinical practice. Her caseload has included stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar conditions, addictions, anger, parenting and family concerns.

Bolden has worked largely in supportive housing and community settings. She has supported people facing homelessness, involvement with child services, substance use, HIV/AIDS, and post-incarceration challenges. That background shapes a practical approach focused on everyday problems and real-world coping skills.

In sessions she centers the relationship with the person in front of her. She emphasizes listening, understanding, and open-minded feedback. Tiniya describes therapy as a place to get an outside perspective and extra support beyond friends and family.

Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these approaches to address mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, workplace stress, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose and money.

People who choose her often want straightforward help managing anger, coping with life changes, or reducing intense stress. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try new responses, and build practical skills for daily life.

She works in English and practices in New York. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the indicated steps to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful for anger, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviors, which can help with panic attacks, depression, and managing impulsive reactions.

Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck about change. It uses curious questions and reflective listening to find personal reasons to try something different, which supports work on addictions, impulsivity, and shifting patterns of behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how a method feels in practice, and then adjust the plan collaboratively as needed.

If you want online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. The profile asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time, but check which formats are currently offered when you sign up.
