About Sharon
Sharon Bingham is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with clients facing trauma, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Sharon aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive. With 15 years of clinical experience, Sharon keeps sessions straightforward and focused.
She listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical skills, and steady progress rather than jargon.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Sharon uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication problems.
She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action despite hard emotions. Sharon blends cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
These methods are taught in simple steps and practiced between sessions so clients can see change in daily life. In the therapy room Sharon prioritizes collaboration.
She helps people set realistic goals, practices new skills with them, and adjusts the pace based on what the client needs. Her style is warm, practical, and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people feel more competent in handling life’s challenges.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Sharon draws on the Gottman Method to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction patterns and to improve communication skills. That approach focuses on practical exercises and clear steps people can practice in daily life to reduce conflict and increase connection.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values. ACT helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching simple skills to stay present and move toward what matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts methods over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing communication skills, while phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or quick skill coaching between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy going even when life gets busy.
