Charles Bihum, LPC

Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 35 years of clinical experience. He acknowledges that reaching out for help can be difficult and honors the step people take when they begin therapy. Charles emphasizes the difference between merely surviving and learning to thrive - helping clients move past fear, mistrust, and other blocks that often stem from painful past experiences.

Beginning from a solution-focused base, Charles concentrates on identifying the specific problems that keep a person stuck and then developing practical strategies to create forward momentum. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and career concerns, among other issues. His practice also includes specialized support around abandonment, body image, codependency, gender dysphoria, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and topics related to alternative sex cultures.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, Charles brings personal insight to his work with queer clients and offers affirming care for sexual and gender diversity. He aims to help people rediscover hope and joy by building on their strengths and collaborating on achievable solutions. Charles views therapy as a process in which clients reclaim the capacity to enjoy life rather than merely endure it.

Solution-Focused and Evidence-Based Online Care

Charles combines a solution-focused foundation with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes setting clear, practical goals and building on a person’s existing strengths to create measurable change; it is often helpful for problems like stress, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions. Evidence-based techniques refer to methods supported by research that address symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and mood concerns by using structured strategies tailored to each person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charles works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, access care from different locations within Colorado, and maintain continuity of support during periods of change. For many people, virtual sessions provide a practical, consistent way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
