About Eric

Eric Golden brings 13 years of clinical experience as an LPCC working from New Mexico.

Background and approach

He frames therapy as a collaborative exploration rather than a search for fixed answers, helping clients shift how they relate to feelings, relationships, and life circumstances so those experiences become manageable parts of a larger life rather than adversaries. His approach emphasizes practical support for behavior, emotion, and relationships while honoring each person’s existing strengths and resilience.

Eric blends warmth, humility, and a sense of humor with patient, reflective guidance. He draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed work to help clients develop new perspectives and skills.

Whether facing stress, grief, addiction, questions of life purpose, or changes in mood and relationships, he aims to accompany people through growth in a respectful, strengths-based way. Eric welcomes international clients and offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Approach and Access: Working Together Online

Eric integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work to address patterns of thought and behavior while also helping clients notice and accept difficult emotions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and increase functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT encourages values-guided action and openness to inner experience, supporting clients who are wrestling with meaning, life changes, or persistent emotional pain.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Eric treats approach selection as a collaborative process. He will help explore which methods resonate with a client’s goals and preferences and adapt sessions over time so interventions align with what a person needs in practice and in day-to-day life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to enhance flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around busy lives, enable regular check-ins between appointments, and make consistent engagement possible for people in different locations or with varying routines. Together these features help maintain continuity of care while tailoring how therapy fits into each person’s life.
