About Charles
Charles Bihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 35 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and LGBT-related issues. He also addresses areas such as body image, codependency, commitment issues, and life purpose.
Bihum frames counseling in a practical, solution-focused way. He helps people identify what keeps them stuck and then tries small, workable changes to shift daily life. Sessions aim to find clearer options and steps that a person can try between meetings.
He draws on long experience with mood struggles and relational problems. He notes lived experience in the LGBT community and uses that background when discussing gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS topics, kink and alternative sex culture, and non-monogamous relationships. Conversations cover feelings, behaviors, and decisions in straightforward terms.
Charles emphasizes short-term, action-oriented work when it fits the person’s goals. He also supports deeper exploration when people want to look at family of origin issues, abandonment, or long-standing shame and guilt. Practical tools and behavioral changes are paired with reflective talk so people can test new ways of relating.
Sessions are conducted in English from his Colorado practice. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
