Eric Teman, LPC

Eric Teman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. He offers an affirming, sex-positive space where men - both straight and LGBTQIA+ - can explore questions of identity, intimacy, sexuality, and kink with openness and respect.

Eric works with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling. He also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, infidelity, control struggles, guilt and shame, and challenges tied to sexuality and self-love. His practice includes focused work with men's issues and sex addiction when relevant.

Drawing on narrative and solution-focused therapies, Eric helps people reframe limiting stories, clarify values, and take practical steps forward. His approach is collaborative and culturally aware, aimed at building resilience, strengthening connection, and helping clients live more authentically. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional trained to provide counseling and psychotherapy - he combines clinical skills with a nonjudgmental stance to help clients find clearer direction.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Eric aims to make the process straightforward and supportive. He invites individuals ready to build confidence, improve relationships, and move forward with greater clarity to reach out and begin that work together.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work and Healing

Eric Teman integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action aligned with their values. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of living a meaningful life.

Narrative Therapy is another approach he uses to help people examine and revise the stories they tell about themselves. By identifying and reshaping unhelpful narratives, clients can reduce shame, increase agency, and open new possibilities for relationships and identity.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past traumatic experiences are central to a person's distress. This approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and building skills to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Eric works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods as progress unfolds so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to access care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating varying communication styles and life circumstances.
