About Tinia
Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or parenting strains. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Her style centers on emotional connection and practical problem solving.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to strengthen trust and understanding.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential ideas are used to connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to encourage more authentic choices. Much of her early work involved supporting children with developmental delays and collaborating with speech and occupational therapists.
Over time she expanded into broader mental health work, providing support for trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, and crisis situations while coordinating with psychiatrists and school districts when needed. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets people choose what fits their schedule and comfort.
Tinia describes therapy as a team effort where she listens, reflects, and helps people try new ways of coping and communicating. People who want clear, steady support for emotional pain, family stress, or life changes may find her approach helpful. She encourages those ready to take the first step to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Online support
Using Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that keep people stuck, often helping with relationship pain, intimacy issues, and intense grief. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people build greater safety and closeness in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals to create a trusting space for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels most helpful. Together they adapt methods over time so sessions match the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the focus on emotional work and practical skills.
