Eric Golden, LPCC - Therapist in New Mexico

About Eric

Eric Golden is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who brings 13 years of experience to family and parenting concerns. He writes and talks in a calm, straightforward way. He focuses on practical emotional and behavioral support for parents, children, teens, and families.

He aims to help people move through hard moments with patience and humor, not shame. Eric frames problems as parts of life to be lived with rather than enemies to defeat.

Background and approach

He uses simple metaphors and clear language to help families shift how they relate to feelings and relationships. Sessions often center on small, real changes that make daily life easier for parents and kids. He offers a strengths-based style grounded in warmth, humility, and steady reflection.

His work tends to be gentle and direct, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. That approach suits parents who want concrete tools and a supportive listener. Eric has extensive experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting struggles, coping with life changes, addictions, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, LGBT concerns, relationships, and family dynamics.

He also supports people exploring life purpose. Based in New Mexico, Eric provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a parent or guardian selects the Start Therapy button, completes a brief matching questionnaire, and schedules with the therapist according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It teaches values-driven steps so parents and kids can make choices that matter, even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting patterns that repeat at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person or family to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over time the approach can be adjusted based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy families. Video lets the therapist see dynamics and coach in real time, while phone and messaging are handy for short check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
