About Charles
Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 35 years of clinical experience in Colorado. He speaks plainly and focuses on making the first step feel doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed. Charles recognizes how hard it can be to reach out and offers a steady, practical presence in sessions.
He starts from a solution-focused place, looking for what keeps someone stuck and working on small, useful changes.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize real actions you can try between meetings and quick ways to reduce anxiety and stress. Charles aims to move people from merely surviving toward feeling more hopeful and able to enjoy life. Because he is part of the LGBT community, he has experience supporting LGBT concerns and related issues such as gender dysphoria and HIV / AIDS.
He also works with people facing grief, depression, relationship strains, and questions about life purpose. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, commitment and separation concerns, and non-traditional sexual or relationship styles like polyamory and kink. Sessions are offered in English and delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Charles uses his long experience to tailor simple strategies to each person’s situation. He emphasizes clear communication, small goals, and practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. If someone is ready to begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the person’s timing.
Charles aims to help people notice progress early and build on it week by week.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Charles draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on problem-solving and symptom reduction. One key approach is solution-focused work, which identifies specific barriers and sets practical, short-term goals to change what isn’t working. This helps people struggling with anxiety or stress see small wins quickly.He also uses behavioral strategies aimed at changing patterns that maintain anxiety and low mood. These techniques include simple behavioral experiments and activity scheduling to rebuild routines and reduce avoidance. They are useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation problems.
Choosing the best approach is a joint effort. Charles works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as needed so progress is practical and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video gives face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing contacts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiver schedule, or a tight routine while keeping care consistent and focused.
