Dr. Sally Goh, LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She began in community and addiction settings and later moved into counseling and educator roles, mentoring other mental health counselors along the way. She focuses on creating a trusting, collaborative relationship so people feel heard from the first session.

Her approach is person-centered and relationship-driven. She combines practical tools with time for people to tell their stories. Sessions focus on skills for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance use, and on everyday problems like sleep, anger, and work-related strain.

Dr. Goh draws on several methods to match the pace a person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. She also works with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.

Attachment-based ways of working show up in sessions when relationships and early family patterns are part of the concern. Therapy can include learning boundaries, improving communication, and handling caregiver strain or chronic health challenges. The focus is on what someone can do now to feel more stable and capable.

People who come to Dr. Goh often want clear, doable steps and someone who listens without judgment. She helps clients work through grief, relationship trouble, addiction worries, ADHD concerns, and major life changes. If someone is ready to start, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

How key approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-led actions to move forward, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) shows people how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, mood concerns, and managing difficult day-to-day reactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns in connection and trust. It can be helpful when family of origin issues, communication problems, or caregiver stress are part of the concern.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods as progress is made. Together they will choose strategies that match the client's needs rather than sticking to a single model.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, such as taking a break during a workday or avoiding travel time. It also lets people continue care if they live far from a clinician. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking to ensure they match scheduling needs and personal preferences.
