About Eric
Eric Golden is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico with 13 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD.

Eric prefers a warm, down-to-earth style in sessions. He uses plain language and steady encouragement. He mixes practical skills with deeper conversations about values and meaning.
Background and approach
He also draws on mindfulness and attachment ideas to help people change how they relate to themselves and others. In the therapy room he helps people notice what matters to them, and then build small habits that match those values. He offers behavioral tools for coping and thought-based strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns.
He also makes space to reflect on life changes and grief so people can move forward with more ease. Eric describes his approach as strength-based and collaborative. He brings patience, humor, humility, and straightforward feedback.
Sessions aim to nurture existing strengths rather than replace them. Clients who work with him can expect clear practical steps alongside reflective conversation. He supports growth over time and helps people chart a path when life feels confusing.
To start, he guides each person through simple goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed actions toward those values. It pairs mindfulness with practical steps to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges with structure and skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people relate to others and themselves, and can help with relationship patterns and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Eric collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts tools over time and checks in regularly so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are a simple option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family life while using the therapeutic approaches above to build skills and clarity.
