Charles Bihum

Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with more than 35 years of experience. He encourages people who are struggling to reach out and see counseling as a step toward moving from surviving to thriving. Charles says many people carry fear or mistrust from past hurt, and he aims to help them notice what keeps them stuck.

He begins work from a solution-focused base, helping clients identify small, practical changes that ease daily struggles. Sessions emphasize finding possible solutions and putting them into practice so progress feels tangible. Over many years Charles has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship stress.

Charles also has lived experience in the LGBT community and describes that background as part of his capacity to understand related concerns. He lists additional focuses that include body image, gender dysphoria, codependency, and issues connected to alternative sex culture such as BDSM and kink.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation aimed at clear goals and steps. Charles frames counseling as a collaborative process that uncovers strengths and restores hope. He invites people to explore what a more enjoyable life could look like and to try practical ways forward.

To start, he asks people to consider what small first change would make a day easier. That often becomes the first homework between sessions, helping momentum build as new habits take hold.

Approaches that guide online work and fit

Charles often uses solution-focused methods that aim for clear, short-term goals and practical steps clients can try between sessions. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, usable strategies for stress, anxiety, or everyday relationship problems.

He also draws on evidence-based techniques for mood and anxiety concerns, helping people identify patterns that keep them stuck and testing small changes to shift those patterns. These techniques can help with depression, worry, and reclaiming daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That conversation helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about pacing, homework between sessions, and how to shape sessions to fit everyday life.
