About Tinia
Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach aims to make therapy feel like teamwork rather than a lecture.
She uses a client-centered stance that starts by listening and building trust. From there she helps clients see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments to test new ways of coping. Please expect sessions that mix reflective conversation with hands-on strategies. Tinia encourages clients to try small changes and notice what shifts.
She also draws on attachment ideas to help people understand close relationships and patterns that repeat over time. Tinia trained at the University of Southern California and has worked in settings that included schools, regional services, and multidisciplinary teams. That background shaped her experience with parents, children, and adults facing developmental delays, trauma, mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.
She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a calm, nonjudgmental style. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, strengthen coping, and help people act more in line with their values. Tinia supports clients in finding clearer choices when life feels stuck.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can be useful for relationship tension, intimacy issues, and repeating interaction cycles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and creating a safe space so people can explore feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tinia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they will track what helps and adjust techniques when needed so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving routines while keeping treatment consistent.
