Charles Bihum

Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with over 35 years of experience. He recognizes how hard it can be to ask for help and honors that first step toward change. Charles emphasizes moving beyond mere survival toward a more enjoyable life.

He starts from a solution-focused base, helping people name the problems that keep them stuck and then try practical steps to move forward. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals and small changes that build momentum. Charles draws on long experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship concerns.

Charles also brings personal and clinical experience supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. He acknowledges how past hurt, mistrust, or fear can make new steps feel risky and talks through ways to rebuild trust in oneself and in relationships. He invites people to explore what brings more joy and hope into daily life.

Common topics he addresses include issues around body image, commitment, codependency, family of origin, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose. He also works with people navigating alternative sexual cultures, non-monogamous relationships, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. Divorce and separation are among the issues he lists as a focus area.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Charles aims to help people try small experiments between meetings and notice what changes. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort to find useful, realistic ways forward and to recover a sense of enjoyment rather than just getting by.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Charles often uses solution-focused techniques that help people set small, achievable goals and test changes between sessions. This approach works well for stress, anxiety, and practical life problems because it breaks bigger issues into steps and focuses on what can change now.

He also emphasizes supportive, talk-based work that helps people process grief, relationship strain, and past hurts. That style centers on building a trusting working relationship and naming the patterns that keep someone stuck so they can try different responses.

Choosing which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and can adapt plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations in Colorado without changing the focus of the work.
