About Eric
Eric Golden is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. He practices from New Mexico and works with individuals on issues like depression, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, and questions about life purpose. Eric uses straightforward language and a warm presence to help people get unstuck and move forward.
He sees therapy as a practice of changing how people relate to their thoughts and feelings, rather than fixing or erasing them.
Background and approach
Eric draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to teach practical skills for handling painful emotions. He also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard and understood. Attachment-based ideas shape his view of relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current behavior.
Existential approaches help when people face big life questions about meaning, choice, and values. These ways of working are woven together, not used as rigid formulas. Sessions focus on small, doable steps.
Clients learn skills for managing anger, improving communication, and coping with change. Eric emphasizes patience, humor, and humility while helping people reconnect with their own strengths. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit varied schedules.
International clients can be seen in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right plan and schedule.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical techniques to change them, often useful for stress, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and emotional reactions, which can be helpful for relationship strains and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Eric will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until you find what fits. Together you will choose practical tools and ways of thinking that match your needs and values rather than following a fixed method.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you meet face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when a camera or strong bandwidth is not available. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when squeezing a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into varying schedules.
