Dr. Sally Goh, LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor who brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice. She holds LPC credentials and is based in Virginia. Her background includes community and addiction counseling alongside educator and mentor roles in the mental health field.

She takes a relationship-driven, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on building a trusting, collaborative connection where people feel heard. Dr. Goh helps clients break down problems into manageable steps so overwhelm feels less paralyzing.

Her work addresses common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, and addictions. She also supports people facing career strain, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness or pain, and challenges linked to family of origin or fatherhood.

Therapy uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and dialectical behavior concepts. The goal is to help people process trauma, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence without carrying others' guilt or shame.

Dr. Goh draws on her experience training counselors and working in community settings to tailor interventions. She guides clients to use their own strengths and values to make steady, meaningful change and to move toward a more hopeful, purposeful life.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Dr. Goh uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote conversations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to change mood, sleep, and daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current responses and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan together as progress is made or priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. If you want to work from wherever is most convenient, check which session formats are offered before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can support skill practice between meetings, focused check-ins that fit a lunch break, or longer sessions when more time is needed.
