About Tinia
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of experience, Tinia Holleman-Soto helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction issues, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and caregiver stress. Sessions are conducted in English and she works from California.
Tinia draws on attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused, and existential approaches in her work. She explains how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and helps clients try different responses. She emphasizes genuine, direct conversation and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Her early work included behavior intervention with very young children with developmental delays. That experience involved coordinating care with speech and occupational therapists and regional service agencies. Later she worked with children, teens, and families alongside psychiatrists, social workers, and school districts.
In sessions she frames therapy as collaborative team work. She listens for current struggles, suggests coping strategies, and tests ideas together in session. Problem solving can include immediate tools and longer-term reflection about values and choices.
Tinia trained at the University of Southern California and holds a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her California LMFT credential is used in clinical practice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the See online therapy options flow.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape emotional responses and patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how clients relate, repair ruptures, and practice different ways of connecting with others.Client-centered therapy centers the client’s perspective and priorities. In practice this means sessions follow what matters most to the person, with the therapist reflecting, listening, and helping clarify goals and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online meetings are useful for learning concrete coping skills, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing progress together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods collaboratively rather than using a single fixed model.
The original biography did not list specific session formats. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking. In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists licensed to practice in a client’s state are the relevant professionals for virtual care decisions.
