About Eric
Eric Golden is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico. He brings 13 years of counseling experience and a calm, patient style to sessions. He describes therapy as a way to hold hard things rather than to fix every problem instantly.
Eric focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, anger, and challenges like ADHD and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with relationship tension, parenting strain, family conflict, questions about life purpose, and issues related to LGBT identity.
How Eric works
He uses several approaches to match each person's needs. His work emphasizes strength and warmth. He uses a client-centered stance that listens first, then reflects what is already working in a person’s life.
Sessions tend to blend practical skills with reflection so people can try new ways of responding to difficult feelings or situations. Eric often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-focused methods to reduce struggle with painful emotions. Attachment-based ideas inform how he talks about patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect current life.
People who choose him usually want a thoughtful, steady guide rather than quick fixes. He aims to bring humor, patience, and humility to the work while encouraging real behavioral steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with his approach and schedule.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small, committed steps that move daily life closer to what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into workable steps. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect present connections and helps people try new ways of relating in close relationships. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Eric will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can experiment and adjust the mix of techniques so the work feels useful and doable. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between sessions or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options provide flexibility so you can arrange help around work, school, or caregiving.Start online instead of waiting
