Eric Golden

Eric Golden is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) who brings 13 years of experience to his work in New Mexico. He invites clients into a gentle, down-to-earth process that focuses on living with difficult feelings rather than simply fixing them. His voice is warm and plain, and he aims to help people find more ease with themselves and their relationships.

Eric describes emotional life as a kind of dance. He helps people learn new ways to move with feelings, habits, and relationships so those things feel less like opponents and more like partners. Sessions emphasize patience, humor, and practical steps that build on each person’s existing strengths.

His work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, relationship challenges, ADHD, and questions around life purpose. He also lists LGBT concerns and family issues among his focuses. The aim is to meet the real problems people bring in everyday language and real tasks they can try between sessions.

Eric uses approaches like Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He blends these to suit each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single script. That flexibility lets him adapt to many kinds of struggles while keeping the work practical.

To begin, the profile asks people to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability. He also notes that he is able to work with international clients who are communicating in English.

How these approaches translate to online work

Eric often draws on Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and chronic worry. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-driven steps even when emotions are hard, which can help with depression, avoidance, and finding life purpose.

He also uses attachment-based ideas in sessions when relationships and patterns from early connections come up. That work pays attention to how people relate to others and how they can build more secure ways of being with important people in their lives. All of these approaches are offered in a collaborative way - the therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single plan.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It also lets the therapist and client practice mindfulness and ACT skills in the settings where they actually come up. Confirm current session options during the intake so scheduling and format match what you need.
