About Sharon
Sharon Bingham is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Utah with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, trauma and parenting challenges. Sharon also lists life purpose, communication problems, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
She prefers a practical, collaborative style. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and on small steps that can be tried between meetings. Conversations include noticing thoughts and feelings, building clearer communication, and practicing ways to manage upsetting moods and stress.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice values and take committed steps toward them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Sharon also uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the person's perspective, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship interaction patterns are a focus. She integrates these tools to meet the current concerns a person brings, rather than following a single fixed protocol.
People who come for help often want clearer priorities, better communication, or ways to cope after big life changes. Sharon asks practical questions, suggests concrete practices, and reviews what works in follow-up sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Sharon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with people online. ACT focuses on noticing values and taking small committed actions toward them, which can help when someone feels directionless after a life change. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.She aims to find the best fit collaboratively. That means discussing which approaches feel most useful, trying techniques in sessions, and adjusting methods based on how they work for the individual. Clients and the therapist decide together what to emphasize over time.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so prospective clients should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when that's helpful. Talk with the therapist about how to structure appointments to match work, family, and daily routines.
