About Tinia
Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage strong emotions and stressful life moments. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strains, parenting stress, and life changes. Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who want clearer tools and steady support.
She trained at the University of Southern California and has practiced for 15 years in California. Early in her career she worked with very young children with developmental delays and collaborated with speech and occupational therapists.
Background and approach
Later she provided care to children, teens, and families alongside psychiatrists, social workers, and school districts. Her sessions focus on real-life changes you can use between meetings. Tinia combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques that look at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior link together.
She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. In therapy she aims to create a respectful, judgment-free space and to work as a team with each person. Sessions include practical strategies, chances to practice new responses, and conversations about values and authentic living.
Tinia encourages people who are ready to try a different way of coping to take the next step. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns in close bonds. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centered therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead; this helps people feel understood and decide what change matters most. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful cycles and manage symptoms like anxiety or anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust strategies as progress is made. That collaborative process helps clients find what helps them move forward.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and different communication styles. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice interactions. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, journaling exercises, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to use approaches like CBT or attachment work in ways that suit individual routines.
