Tiniya Bolden, LCSW

Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, self-esteem, parenting and family concerns. She also addresses anger, coping with life changes, and related mood and workplace issues.

Bolden draws on straightforward approaches that help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions emphasize listening, clear feedback, and practical steps. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to test new coping strategies.

Her background includes work in supportive housing and community settings with people facing homelessness, substance use, trauma, health challenges, and involvement with social services. That experience shaped a focus on everyday problems and concrete supports rather than abstract theory.

Treatment sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and motivational interviewing when change feels difficult. Narrative and solution-focused techniques are used to clarify strengths and next steps.

People who prefer clear structure, practical tools, and regular check-ins may find her approach helpful. She encourages questions and schedules sessions to fit around life demands. The first meetings typically involve identifying the most pressing concerns and planning small, testable changes.
