About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of experience. She practices in Virginia and holds LPC credentials. She draws on a relationship-focused, person-centered style to help people feel heard and understood.
She began her career in community and addiction counseling and has also worked as a counselor educator and mentor. That background shapes how she approaches problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and substance use. Her work often addresses stress, codependency, caregiver strain, and challenges tied to family of origin.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and steady. She guides people through small, achievable steps when they feel overwhelmed or stuck. Clients learn skills to set boundaries, cope with emotional pain, and use their strengths to move forward.
Her practice blends practical tools and relational support. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas help when there are relationship wounds and issues with connection.
Dr. Goh also integrates approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, mindfulness, and values-based actions. Her teaching and mentorship work inform a clear, educational style in sessions.
Many people come for help with sleep, anger, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD challenges, and life transitions. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If you want a therapist who balances evidence-based tools with warm support, she may be a good fit.
How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that fit personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the stuck feeling that follows major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and trust; it helps people understand relationship patterns and work toward safer, more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out what matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending elements from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. It can also make it simpler to continue care while traveling or juggling work and family commitments. Licensed professionals often adapt materials and exercises for remote sessions so people get practical tools they can use between meetings.
