About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a decade of experience. She practices in Virginia and offers therapy in English.
Her background includes community-based work and addiction counseling before moving into independent practice and educator roles. Dr. Goh emphasizes a relationship-first, person-centered style.
She aims to help people feel heard and safe to start hard conversations. Her approach mixes practical skills and emotional work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning new coping skills, practicing communication, and setting personal boundaries. Dr. Goh also focuses on family and related concerns such as family problems, fatherhood issues, and family of origin challenges.
She works with issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness, codependency, abandonment, and other relationship patterns. She brings specific attention to grief, sleep problems, anger, and career stress. As a counselor educator she mentors and trains other mental health professionals.
That background shapes a clear, instructional style in sessions. People can expect step-by-step guidance aimed at small, concrete changes rather than vague advice. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and includes several online session formats.
International clients may be seen. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Goh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger issues and focuses on small, doable changes.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying their values and taking committed action. ACT can be useful for coping with stress, chronic pain, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend or combine methods that make sense for your situation. The process is collaborative, with ongoing adjustments based on what helps.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let sessions fit into busy family routines or caregiving schedules. They also allow for quick check-ins and steady support while working on skills between sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
