Eric Hulsing, LPC

Eric Hulsing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who combines professional training with lived experience to support people navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and mood challenges. He has four years of experience as a therapist and prior roles as a case manager and social caseworker in mental health and developmental services, which inform a practical understanding of neurodivergence and everyday obstacles.

Drawing on an integrative, person-centered, and strengths-based orientation, Eric blends evidence-based techniques with creative and philosophical elements because he views therapy as a science, an art, and a way of thinking. He adapts his methods to each person’s needs, meeting clients where they are and emphasizing practical skill-building alongside self-exploration.

With children he uses play to support emotional expression and self-regulation. With teens and young adults he applies the Transition to Independence Model (TIP) to strengthen executive functioning, self-determination, and confidence during life transitions. Among his core methods are dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness for emotional regulation, expressive arts and play therapies for creative processing, solution-focused brief therapy for goal-oriented work, and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change.

Eric works collaboratively with clients to examine their stories, identify strengths, and build clarity and skills for moving forward, whether they are addressing burnout, trauma, or the experience of feeling both "too much and not enough."

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Eric commonly uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness to help clients develop practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches focus on building coping strategies and present-moment awareness that apply to anxiety, mood challenges, and trauma-related symptoms.

He also integrates expressive arts therapy and play-based methods to support creative processing, emotional expression, and self-regulation, especially with children and people who benefit from nonverbal or hands-on approaches. For teens and young adults Eric applies the Transition to Independence Model (TIP) to strengthen executive functioning, self-determination, and confidence during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the collaborative, skills-focused work Eric emphasizes.
