About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and brings a relationship-focused, person-centered style to sessions.
Her approach aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward. She draws on therapies such as cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance and commitment ideas to address anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone in the room is collaborative and aimed at steady progress. Dr. Goh previously worked as a community-based and addiction counselor and has experience with grief, loss, and substance-related concerns.
She also supports people coping with life changes, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career pressures. Her background includes mentoring and training other mental health counselors. In therapy she helps clients identify strengths, set boundaries, and reduce guilt and shame that limit daily functioning.
Work often focuses on skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence. The process is gradual and paced to each person’s needs. People can expect straightforward, step-by-step planning paired with compassionate listening.
Goals are practical: better sleep, fewer panic episodes, improved mood, or healthier relationships with others. Dr. Goh accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and communication, and it supports people working through connection and abandonment issues.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time techniques can be adjusted based on what feels helpful and what produces real, manageable steps forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is low, and messaging allows quick check-ins or longer reflective writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to follow up between sessions, and to try different ways of communicating as needs change.
