About Tinia

Tinia Holleman-Soto is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience who welcomes people seeking help for stress, anxiety, ADHD, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes meeting clients where they are and creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Tinia's work often supports people navigating grief, trauma, addiction, intimacy issues, or life transitions and she brings a steady, empathetic presence to those facing complex emotional struggles.

Her training includes a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a background working with young children with developmental delays, which led to ongoing collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including speech and occupational therapists, psychiatrists, and school districts.

Tinia blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and existential perspectives to help clients identify unhelpful thinking, build practical coping strategies, and pursue more authentic ways of living. She frames therapy as a team effort aimed at empowerment, clearer communication, and meaningful change.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients explore how early relationships shape expectations and emotional patterns in current relationships; it can be useful for people who want to understand bonding, trust, and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete tools and homework to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on the quality of emotional experience and connection, often used to repair relationship strains and improve emotional communication.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and may combine elements from these models so the plan reflects what feels most helpful for the individual's circumstances.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity during busy or transitional periods. These formats let licensed professionals provide regular support, practical interventions, and ongoing check-ins while fitting therapy into everyday life and commitments.
