About Eric
Eric Golden is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico with 13 years of experience. He focuses on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger, relationship and family tensions, parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.
Eric writes plainly about how people relate to their feelings. He offers ways of looking at painful emotions so they stop feeling like enemies. His approach frames thoughts, sensations, and relationships as partners to be learned from rather than problems that must be defeated. That tone guides how he works in sessions.
His day-to-day practice mixes behavioral and relational support. He draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while keeping conversations grounded and practical. Sessions tend to include reflection, skill practice, and looking at what gets in the way of changing unhelpful patterns.
Eric also uses attachment-based and existential ideas to help people understand how they relate to others and what matters to them. He encourages small actions that align with personal values and that reduce the charge around anger, resentment, and recurring conflict.
Clients can expect a steady, down-to-earth style that allows for humor and patience. He asks straightforward questions, listens for patterns, and suggests exercises people can try between sessions. New clients are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses simple exercises and values-driven actions to reduce the heat around anger and increase purposeful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills for managing reactions, such as breathing, reappraisal, and stepwise behavior changes. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships to understand why anger shows up and how to change repeating cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test what fits. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the emphasis based on goals and preferences rather than assuming a single method from the start.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can schedule shorter check-ins on a break, avoid travel time, or choose a session length that works with work and family demands. Online work also lets a therapist suggest home practice and real-time strategies to use between meetings, which can speed up learning to handle anger in everyday situations.
