01About Charles
Charles Bihum is a licensed professional counselor who has practiced in Colorado for decades. He draws on 35 years of experience to help people move from surviving to living with more hope. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try right away.
Charles begins by pinpointing what keeps someone stuck. He uses a solution-focused outlook to set small, realistic goals. Sessions aim to surface patterns, test new behaviors, and track what feels better over time.
Background and approach
Many clients seek help for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. He also works with people facing issues related to gender, sexual identity, and alternative sexual cultures such as kink and polyamory. Body image, codependency, commitment questions, and life-purpose concerns are also within his focus.
Charles emphasizes straightforward conversation and steady progress. He helps people name painful beliefs like shame, abandonment, or guilt and then practices different ways to respond. Change is presented as a series of manageable steps rather than a single sudden shift.
Therapy with him blends practical problem solving and honest conversation. People who want clear goals, real-world strategies, and a calm, experienced guide often find this approach helpful. He invites those ready to try a new direction to begin with a short questionnaire and a scheduled session.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Charles favors a solution-focused approach that narrows in on what is not working and identifies small, doable steps to try. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, and moods by breaking problems into specific goals and tracking progress.He also draws on techniques that help people notice and shift unhelpful patterns related to shame, abandonment, or low self-worth. These methods involve straightforward exercises and conversations to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for body image, codependency, and recovery from hurt.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then try methods that fit. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together until a better fit is found.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
