Eric Teman, LPC

Eric Teman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He offers a sex-positive, affirming space for discussions about sexuality and identity. His style is straightforward and collaborative, focused on practical steps clients can use right away.

Eric draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, narrative work, and trauma-focused approaches. He uses these methods to help people untangle painful patterns, reframe difficult stories, and practice new ways of coping. Sessions aim to build skills for managing stress, cravings, shame, and difficult emotions.

He pays attention to how identity and culture shape present struggles, and he works with men and people who identify as LGBTQ to explore questions of intimacy, kink, and sexuality. That means conversations are direct and respectful, and goals are set together based on what matters to the person in front of him.

Practical tools are a big part of his work. Clients can expect behavior-focused strategies from CBT, values-based action from ACT, and storytelling techniques from narrative therapy to make sense of past events and move forward. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is affecting daily life.

Eric has five years of clinical experience and holds LPC licenses in Wyoming and Colorado. He offers multiple session formats so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.

How Eric’s approaches work in online sessions

Eric often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive urges. CBT gives clear, actionable skills that people can practice between sessions.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT supports building a life that matters rather than trying to eliminate all difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Eric will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. You and he will adjust the plan based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a face-to-face session from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits your day. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
