About Eric

Eric Golden is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in New Mexico with 13 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and life purpose. He offers supportive, conversational care aimed at helping people notice what matters and what gets in the way.

Eric describes therapy as a way to change how someone relates to their feelings and circumstances rather than fixing everything at once. He uses everyday language and practical attention to behavior, emotion, and relationships. Sessions tend to be collaborative and reflective, with space for humor and straightforward observation.

His approach draws on a mix of therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential perspectives. That combination helps people examine patterns, try small behavior changes, and consider values and meaning when life shifts.

People often come to him when they feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, health event, or loss. He helps people notice how they respond, practice different choices, and clarify what matters next. The focus is on gradual steps rather than quick fixes.

Eric has a background working with young people, adolescents, adults, and families in youth and family therapy roles since 2012. He describes his style as patient, reflective, and down-to-earth, inviting clients to work through problems with both honesty and a bit of humor.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone feels blocked by worry or uncertainty about what matters next.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for people who notice repeated conflicts or who want different ways of relating to others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes to reduce distress. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants concrete steps to test out between sessions.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That choice can shift as the work progresses.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from the equation. Many people find that remote work supports steady progress while keeping therapy practical for daily life.
