About Charles
Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 35 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and issues relevant to LGBT clients. He also addresses family of origin issues and a range of relationship and identity questions, including commitment concerns and non-monogamous relationships.
Charles uses a solution-focused orientation to start sessions. He helps people identify specific patterns that keep them stuck and then tries practical steps to change them. Sessions are conversational and aim to make problems easier to see and manage.
He draws on long clinical experience to help people move from surviving to more hopeful, workable routines. That can mean addressing how early family roles influence current relationships, talking through trust and abandonment concerns, or sorting out sexual identity and relationship arrangements. He speaks from personal lived experience as a member of the LGBT community in addition to his counseling work.
Charles emphasizes clear, practical actions alongside reflection. That might include small behavior changes, experimenting with different ways of relating, or reframing self-critical thoughts. He describes therapy as a place to test ideas and practice new responses to old patterns.
People who come to him often want straightforward help with mood, anxiety, or relationship patterns that trace back to upbringing or long-standing roles. He encourages an honest look at what keeps someone stuck and then works on steps to shift those patterns.
Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Charles works from a solution-focused approach that zeroes in on current patterns and small changes that make daily life easier.

It is often used when people want clear tasks to try between sessions.He also uses techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic practices that help with mood and anxiety. These approaches include helping people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and trying brief behavioral experiments to test new responses. Such steps can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many relationship concerns including family of origin patterns.
Deciding which method fits best is part of the work. Charles collaborates with each person to match approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a technique, reviewing how it worked, and adjusting the plan together.
