Sharon Bingham, LMFT

Calm, practical therapy for everyday struggles

About Sharon

Sharon Bingham is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Utah who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Sharon aims to make the first step feel doable and steady for people seeking change. Sharon brings 15 years of experience to sessions and focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space.

She listens closely to what matters most and helps clients find practical ways to cope. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, achievable changes that fit daily life.

Her approach blends methods that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build better communication habits. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening.

For relationship concerns, she draws on the Gottman Method to improve interaction and understanding. Sharon tailors work to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed plan.

She helps set clear goals and checks progress in simple ways. Sessions often include skill practice, real-life experiments, and brief take-home steps to try between meetings.

People who prefer direct, empathetic guidance tend to do well with her style. Sharon describes therapy as a collaborative effort where clients lead and she supports the process.

Her Utah licensure is LMFT, and she offers services in English.

How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at habits of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It uses small experiments and thought tools to shift unhelpful patterns. The Gottman Method concentrates on improving communication and problem-solving in relationships, with clear exercises to change interaction patterns and increase understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, personal preferences, and the issue at hand and then suggest a mix of methods. That decision is made together so the plan fits each person’s needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and use therapy in real time around daily life.
