About Sharon
Sharon Bingham is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. She brings 15 years of experience and focuses on practical ways to ease daily strain and restore balance. Sharon creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about what they worry about most.
She prefers a straightforward, supportive style. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sharon listens first, then works with each person to set small, achievable steps toward change.
Background and approach
She emphasizes skills you can use between appointments. Sharon draws on several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. Techniques include acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and move toward them, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and Gottman-informed ideas for improving communication.
She adapts methods to what feels useful in the moment. Parents often seek her out when they feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in cycles of conflict. Sharon can help parents develop clearer limits, steadier routines, and kinder self-talk.
She also supports people facing life transitions, mood changes, or the lingering effects of past hurt. Clients can expect direct feedback, practical homework, and steady encouragement. Sharon describes therapy as a team effort where progress is built one step at a time.

Using practical therapies online for parenting and stress
Sharon often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while accepting hard feelings. It can help when parenting feels overwhelming or when life changes make choices unclear.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and improving day-to-day coping skills. In sessions Sharon breaks skills into simple exercises that can be practiced between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs shift so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, brief updates, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines and daily life.
