About Sharon

Sharon Bingham is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

With 15 years of experience, she helps clients navigate communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose questions, mood disorders including postpartum depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder, and social anxiety and phobia. Sharon emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can explore difficult feelings and begin to make meaningful changes.

Her style blends practical skill-building with empathic listening, encouraging clients to articulate values, set manageable goals, and practice new ways of responding to stress. She uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship work is appropriate.

Sharon invites clients to take courageous steps toward greater well-being while providing steady support and collaborative problem-solving throughout the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related mood concerns. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning mindful acceptance of difficult experiences while taking committed action toward a meaningful life.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Sharon works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time so the plan fits each person’s circumstances and priorities rather than imposing a single technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to use therapeutic tools in everyday life while working with a licensed professional in Utah.
