About Eric

Eric Golden is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of practice who frames therapy as a process of relationship rather than problem solving.

Background and approach

He invites clients to change how they relate to feelings, situations, and relationships so difficult experiences can be held and moved with rather than fought. His outlook emphasizes humor, patience, humility, and forgiveness as tools that help people engage with life more gracefully.

He offers behavioral, emotional, and relational support using a strengths-based approach that seeks out existing health and resilience. Eric has provided therapeutic care since 2012 to children, adolescents, adults, and families in roles focused on youth and family therapy.

He centers warmth and sincere reflection in sessions and welcomes clients seeking help with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, addiction, self-esteem, life purpose, and similar life transitions.

Eric works from a perspective that collaboration and accompaniment are key; he aims to support personal growth, healing, and the everyday work of navigating life’s changes while honoring each person’s unique path.

Evidence-informed approaches and online flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them and to commit to actions aligned with personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve coping in areas like stress, mood, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can support work on relationship, family, and self-esteem issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and he treats that as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to consider which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the approach over time to reflect what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people balancing busy lives or living beyond the therapist's physical office in New Mexico. Available formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility in scheduling and multiple ways to engage with a licensed professional. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to continue work on growth and coping from different locations.
