About Eric
Eric Golden is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico. He brings 13 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and life changes. He uses grounded, practical methods and pays attention to how the body and mind interact.
His style is warm and down-to-earth. He talks plainly and listens for what matters to each person. He prefers a strengths-based approach that nudges existing resilience rather than starting over.
Background and approach
Humor and patience are common in his work. Eric often blends somatic awareness with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas. That means sessions can include noticing bodily signals, clarifying values, and exploring how early relationships shape current patterns.
He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral approaches when helpful. Many clients come with concerns about trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationships, parenting, or questions of life purpose. He aims to help people move toward more meaningful action, calmer moments, and clearer choices.
Sessions focus on simple, doable steps. Eric offers multiple online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Approaches that blend body and values for online work
Eric often uses somatic-informed practices to help people notice how tension, breath, or posture relate to feelings and reactions. This can be useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and moments of overwhelm because it connects bodily experience with everyday coping.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another frequent influence. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven actions while learning to hold difficult thoughts without getting stuck. That approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivational blocks.
Attachment-based ideas inform how he looks at patterns in relationships. Discussing early and current relationship habits can reveal why certain reactions show up now and point to different ways of relating that feel safer or more effective.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He approaches treatment collaboratively and will help clients try different techniques to see what fits their goals, needs, and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for consistent check-ins, and let clients choose the pace and style that suit them best. Licensed professionals can adapt somatic exercises, values work, and attachment-focused conversation to these formats to keep progress moving forward.
