About Sohale
Sohale Vu is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. He has nine years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship strain. Sohale speaks English and Spanish and uses an evidence-based approach when talking with clients.

Background and approach
Over the years Sohale has supported people coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, and issues around commitment and codependency. He also works with clients facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, and life stage challenges related to aging. Sohale pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and choices.
He uses that understanding to help people develop clearer boundaries and healthier patterns. Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer-term work, depending on what someone needs. When someone reaches out, the first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.
Therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sohale welcomes people who want a practical, respectful approach to change.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches teach practical skills to manage anxiety, reduce stress, and break cycles that feed low mood. Work typically includes learning new coping strategies and trying them between sessions to see what helps.Another common approach centers on understanding how past relationships shape current reactions. This style looks at attachment and patterns that affect trust, commitment, and boundaries. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment fears, codependency, or repeated relationship conflicts.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
