About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience based in Virginia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, attachment and abandonment issues, and a range of family of origin concerns.
Before private practice she worked as a community-based and addiction counselor. That background informs how she approaches substance use and recovery. She also mentors and trains other mental health counselors, which keeps her practice connected to current methods and practical skills.
Her approach is practical and relationship-focused. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to try different ways of responding. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work, client-centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills as relevant to the issue.
In sessions she helps people process trauma, set boundaries, and build assertiveness. She works step-by-step with clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed so they can manage emotions and regain confidence. The focus is on using a person’s existing strengths to make specific changes.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Goh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice different responses. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it often involves skill-building and short exercises between sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying values and learning ways to accept difficult feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her approach when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current emotional reactions, helping people understand and change long-standing connection patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment-focused work, DBT skills, or client-centered methods suit the issue and goals. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
