About Tinia
Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a calm, team-oriented style to sessions. Tinia works to create a space where people feel heard and respected as they figure out next steps.
She trained at the University of Southern California where she completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and earned a Pupil Personnel Service credential.
Background and approach
Early in her career she worked as a behaviorist with very young children with developmental delays and collaborated closely with speech and occupational therapists. Over time her caseload expanded to include children, teens, and adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, abuse, and crisis situations. That work involved partnering with psychiatrists, social workers, case managers, and school districts to coordinate care.
Tinia uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential ideas to guide her work. She focuses on helping people understand links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and on building safer, more connected relationships. Sessions are collaborative and nonjudgmental.
Tinia aims to help clients act more authentically, develop practical coping tools, and improve communication. She encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers steady support through the process.

Online support
How Tinia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Tinia draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to focus on how relationships shape emotions and safety, helping people repair connection and reduce anxiety in close bonds. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the client’s experience at the center of each session, offering acceptance, reflection, and support while clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is practical for tackling anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. Tinia will listen to your concerns, try different strategies, and adjust the focus based on what helps you meet your goals. Together you will pick tools and exercises that fit your situation and preferences rather than following a rigid plan.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls support deeper conversational work and emotional expression, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or on the go, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help people access therapy from different locations and routines while keeping the work collaborative and goal-focused.
