About Eric
Eric Teman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He creates a respectful, sex-positive space to talk about sexuality, identity, and intimacy without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps so people feel clearer and more able to act in line with their values.
Eric uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that hold them back.
Background and approach
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build skills for handling distress, managing compulsive behaviors, and reducing avoidance. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. He has five years of clinical experience and holds LPC licenses in Wyoming and Colorado.
That background informs a straightforward style that centers the client's voice and goals. Conversations tend to be direct, with room for curiosity and gentle challenge. Common topics include process addictions such as pornography or gambling, sex addiction, intimacy-related issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, and stress related to identity.
Eric helps people identify values, practice new ways of coping, and take concrete steps toward better relationships with themselves and others. Starting therapy is presented as a step-by-step process. Eric emphasizes short-term goals and practical experiments between sessions to track progress.
The work aims to create clearer choices and more consistent action toward meaningful change.

Online session options
How narrative and values-based work translates online
Eric often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the stories that limit them and then try new narratives in everyday life. Narrative work can help with identity questions, shame, and relationship patterns by naming unhelpful stories and testing alternatives in small steps.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify what matters most and to build simple actions that match those values. ACT helps people tolerate uncomfortable feelings while committing to meaningful change. Client-Centered Therapy informs his approach too, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that puts the person's experience at the center of each session.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides whether sessions focus more on narrative, values-driven action, or skill practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting therapy into a busy day.
