Charles Bihum, LPC

Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 35 years of clinical experience. He encourages people who are hesitant to reach out and acknowledges that taking that first step is difficult. He describes counseling as a way to move from merely surviving toward thriving by identifying what keeps someone stuck and trying practical steps toward change.

Charles begins sessions from a solution-focused base, looking for concrete problems and small, doable changes. He notes that building a trusting relationship helps people see blocks more clearly and test new ways of living. He aims to help clients rediscover hope and enjoyment in life rather than just getting by.

He brings long experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship concerns. He also lists work with LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and a range of sexual concerns such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Other focus areas include body image, codependency, commitment issues, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships.

Charles speaks English and practices in Colorado. His approach emphasizes practical steps and matching solutions to a person’s everyday life. He invites people to explore possibilities and to try changes that feel manageable.

People looking to begin are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to his availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Charles uses solution-focused work that narrows in on a specific problem and tests small changes. This method helps when someone wants concrete steps to try between sessions and quick ways to measure progress.

He also draws on general evidence-based techniques to address mood and anxiety concerns, using practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These methods tend to focus on skills you can practice in real situations, such as managing worry or improving sleep and routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to use and adjust them as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and letting sessions happen from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins on days when time is tight, or let someone opt for audio rather than video if that helps them focus. Ask about scheduling and format when you complete the matching questionnaire so options match your needs.
