About Charles
Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience working in Colorado. He encourages people who are ready to move beyond merely surviving and want practical steps toward a more satisfying life. He acknowledges that reaching out for help can feel hard and validates that first step toward change.
Charles starts from a solution-focused place, looking for specific blocks that keep someone stuck and then finding workable steps forward. He talks through concrete options with clients and supports trying small changes that build toward bigger shifts. Sessions aim to be practical and hopeful rather than full of jargon.
He has long experience listening to concerns about depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and relationship strain. He also brings personal understanding to issues affecting the LGBT community and addresses topics such as gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and non-traditional relationship arrangements. Charles regularly works with matters related to family of origin, commitment, and life purpose.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. Charles helps people identify patterns like codependency, shame, or body-image worries and then test different ways of responding. The pace is set by each person’s comfort and goals.
Over his career he has helped people manage midlife transitions, career stress, and the fallout of separation or divorce. He invites those who want to move toward more joy and hopefulness to begin with a simple step: reach out and explore options together.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Charles describes his work as solution-focused, which means sessions center on identifying specific obstacles and trying practical steps to move past them. This approach is helpful for people wanting concrete tools for stress, workplace strain, or relationship problems.He also draws on evidence-based techniques that target mood and anxiety symptoms by helping people change unhelpful patterns and test new behaviors. Those methods are useful when someone needs clear strategies for depression, panic, or persistent worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time if a different approach would fit better.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are available. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, allow a quieter check-in during a break, or remove the need to be on camera every time. Licensed professionals can often adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments, and Charles will help plan sessions that fit everyday life and your work and wellbeing goals.
