Funny, I have the opposite problems against counters: Vlad and Yorick screw me in lane but Jax, Irelia, Jarvan, Olaf... all these bruisers just make me gleefully rub my hands together. Riven and many other melee casters also don't scare me that much, thouh they can snowball on you very hard.

Teemo counters autoattackers, so anything using any forms of autoattacks will be at a disadvantage; Teemo also has a decent advantage against melee champs because his poison allows him to kite effectively; Finally, anything with a large amount of sustain or harass will most likely screw Teemo in lane.

What you have to do is adapt your first item to what you are facing: if you can kite the melee champ, build a phage; if you can harass safely with 1 autoattack, get either AP or a Nashor's Tooth; if you are loosing your lane or neither of these things work (For example a well played Riven will push and zone you: resistant, can't really be kited, doesn't use autoattacks) then buy some relevant resistance, some sustain and some CDR to spam the map with mushrooms, proceed to farm as much as you can.

If you are getting denied or zoned hard and can't farm properly, place mushrooms along the minion's path, buy some AP and proceed to gank mid-lane over and over, making it impossible for them to farm, go in the jungle and steal golems/wraiths, go place mushrooms in bot lane bushes to save the support money. As long as you don't loose top tower and farm the minions there with your shrooms you can go wherever you please.
