About Eric

Eric Golden is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico with 13 years of experience. He describes therapy as a way to change how people relate to their feelings and situations. Eric uses a warm, patient style and invites a mix of humor and humility into sessions to help people move through hard moments.

He frames problems as parts of life to be engaged with rather than fought. That lets emotions, relationships, and difficult experiences become something to work with instead of opponents to defeat. Eric emphasizes practical emotional and relational support, helping people find steadier footing during stressful times.

His work covers concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes. He also supports people exploring life purpose and meaning.

Eric draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy. In sessions he focuses on building on each person's existing strengths while teaching ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.

People meet him to get practical skills, clearer perspective, and steady support while they navigate life transitions or persistent struggles. To begin, users follow the site process to match with a therapist and schedule a first session.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people act toward what matters despite painful emotions and is often used for anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so a person can better understand themselves and make choices that feel right.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and make regular appointments more practical for people juggling work or family. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions still allow for meaningful therapeutic progress when matched with a licensed professional and an approach that fits their needs.
