Eric Golden, LPCC

Eric Golden brings a compassionate, strength-based approach to behavioral, emotional, and relational support for children, adolescents, adults, and families. He frames healing as a shift in how people relate to their experiences rather than a search for one definitive solution, inviting feelings, relationships, and life circumstances to be met with curiosity and acceptance rather than opposition. This perspective encourages clients to engage with their lives more like a dance - sometimes graceful, sometimes awkward - and to cultivate patience, humor, and self-forgiveness along the way.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Eric blends warmth, humility, and sincere reflection to nurture the resilience already present in each person. His work emphasizes practical emotional and relational skills while honoring individual strengths and values. Over his career he has supported young people, individuals, and families through challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. He is also experienced in working with LGBT clients.

Eric has provided therapeutic care since 2012, offering accompaniment on journeys of healing, personal growth, and everyday coping. He aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients feel seen and supported as they explore change and meaning. Eric welcomes the opportunity to work alongside those seeking relief, insight, or a steadier way of moving through life.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Eric integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered principles to offer practical online care. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then take steps aligned with their values; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current connections, which can aid work around trauma, relationship challenges, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported as they explore their own goals and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Eric collaborates with each person to identify which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods over time so the work remains responsive and meaningful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options allow continuity of care, easier appointment access, and the ability to receive therapeutic support from locations that work best for the client, while still working with licensed professionals committed to thoughtful, collaborative treatment.
