About Sharon

LMFT in Utah with 15 years of clinical experience, Sharon Bingham focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and mood issues. She also helps people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sharon works in English and practices from a family-systems and skills-based perspective.

Sharon keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to the immediate problem, then helps people try specific skills they can use between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance and commitment ideas to change unhelpful patterns and manage difficult feelings.

Her approach includes client-centered techniques that prioritize the client's priorities and pace. When relationship problems arise she uses the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central needs.

Sharon aims to make therapy a place to talk through what is happening now and practice different ways of responding. She often breaks topics into small, manageable steps so progress feels tangible. Clients who want to understand why they react a certain way get direct, applicable tools.

To begin, Sharon asks people to describe their main concerns and goals. She helps set simple targets for the first few sessions and adjusts based on what works. The emphasis is on usable strategies and realistic steps toward better day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on values and flexible behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and social phobia. The Gottman Method focuses on communication habits and conflict patterns in relationships, offering concrete exercises to improve interaction and repair problems.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps. That means sessions can mix approaches so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking because this listing does not specify formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes practicing skills at home or between activities more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Gottman exercises to remote sessions so people keep making practical progress.
