Dr. Sally Goh, LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and brings a relationship-focused, person-centered style to her work. Her approach aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by strong emotions find steady ways forward.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and addiction. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, ADHD, and challenges that come with aging and geriatric issues. Her background includes community-based work and addiction counseling before moving into private practice.

In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside attachment-informed conversation. She emphasizes step-by-step work, skill building, and using each person's strengths to process trauma, set boundaries, and reduce shame and guilt.

Her teaching and mentoring experience shapes how she explains ideas and techniques. That background also informs clear, structured plans for progress and goals. Clients can expect a collaborative tone and focused, manageable steps toward change.

People who want guidance that balances empathy with practical strategy often find this style helpful. If you prefer a therapist who works alongside you to rebuild confidence and purpose, she offers that collaborative partnership.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with intimacy, communication problems, abandonment issues, and relationship rhythms that cause pain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, strengths, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for people outside the local area or in other countries to connect with licensed professionals who offer support.
