About Charles
Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 35 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and questions about life purpose. He also notes experience supporting LGBT people and those navigating gender dysphoria and non-traditional relationship styles.
Charles favors a solution-focused foundation in his work. He looks for the specific problems that keep someone stuck and helps identify small, practical steps to try. Sessions aim to move from surviving toward more satisfying day-to-day patterns rather than promising a fixed outcome.
He talks plainly about fear, mistrust, and past hurt and how those shape current choices. Conversations are used to notice blocks, test different responses, and see what changes feel manageable. Over time clients often notice a shift in how they interpret their options.
Charles has worked across many issues that overlap with relationships and identity. His additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, codependency, commitment concerns, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS, men’s issues, midlife questions, mood disorders, and polyamory or other non-monogamous arrangements.

Approach highlights and how online sessions work
Charles describes his work as grounded in solution-focused methods. This approach zeroes in on concrete issues that keep someone stuck and sets short-term, practical goals to try. It is often used for stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and finding direction after life changes.He also draws on common evidence-based techniques that help people notice patterns and test new behaviors. For example, brief behavioral experiments can help someone check whether a different response reduces anxiety. Another common method is structured problem solving, which breaks worries into manageable steps and actions to evaluate next moves.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions focus more on short-term strategies or on exploring recurring patterns over time.
