About Eric

Eric Teman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Wyoming and Colorado with five years of clinical experience. He works with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, stress, anxiety, and relationships, and also focuses on guilt and shame, control issues, and sexuality.

He offers a sex-positive, affirming approach for men and LGBTQ clients. Sessions are practical and direct. He talks through relationship concerns, questions of identity, and struggles with substance or process addiction. He also supports work on infidelity, sexual compulsions, and building self-regard.

Eric draws from narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify values and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past events continue to cause distress.

In session he works collaboratively, helping people clarify values and take concrete steps forward. Conversations can include exploration of kink and sexual identity when relevant. The focus is on practical strategies to reduce shame, manage cravings, and repair or strengthen intimate connections.

He practices in Colorado and conducts work in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, shame, and behaviors tied to addiction by shifting attention toward meaningful goals. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they feel less limiting and more in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, useful for depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the work as needs change. Clients and the therapist plan next steps together, trying techniques and reviewing what helps.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions without commuting. They also allow continued contact when someone has moved within the same state. If specific formats are important to you, check the session options listed when scheduling.
