About Eric

Eric Golden is an LPCC practicing in New Mexico with 13 years of experience. He describes therapy as a way to change the relationship people have with hard feelings and situations. He invites clients to treat difficult emotions as partners to be danced with rather than opponents to be defeated.

Eric uses a warm, patient style in sessions. He brings humor, humility, and steady reflection to conversations. His approach centers on helping people notice their strengths and build on what is already working in their lives.

Clients seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, trauma, or problems with self-esteem may find his way of working accessible. He also supports people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, attention differences, and questions about life purpose.

Eric draws from a range of practical methods. He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools and relationship-focused perspectives. This mix aims to help people change unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and try different behaviors in everyday life.

Sessions focus on simple, concrete steps rather than abstract theory. Eric aims to create space for honest talk and experimentation. He invites curiosity and gentle self-compassion while clients practice new ways of coping and relating.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve coping. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood, and addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior and helps people try new ways of relating and understanding emotional needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking in, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Working with a licensed professional remotely still allows for skill practice, values clarification, and real-time coaching on coping strategies.
