Dr. Sally Goh , LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices from Virginia and brings a relationship-centered, person-focused style to sessions. Her approach is direct and warm, aimed at helping people feel understood and find practical ways forward.

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Her practice includes coaching around life transitions and caregiver strain.

In sessions she uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based therapies. She combines these with attachment-informed work and client-centered conversations to help people name patterns and make small changes. The work is collaborative - the client’s goals guide the pace and focus.

Before private practice she worked in community-based and addiction counseling and spent time mentoring other counselors. That background informs her practical focus on coping skills, boundary-setting, and using strengths to manage emotional pain. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking steady steps forward.

People who want clear strategies plus a supportive listener may find her approach useful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed actions even when emotions are strong. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful goals and practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and setting boundaries in their lives.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Treatment choices are adjusted over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and pace in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face exchanges and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options make it easier to practice skills, stay consistent with appointments, and get support when life is hectic.
