About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience working in and around Virginia. She describes herself as relationship-driven and person-centered, and lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, family and relationship concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes among the issues she addresses.
She previously worked in community settings and as an addiction counselor. That background influences how she structures sessions: practical steps, clear goals, and attention to how past experiences affect current behavior. Her work also includes mentoring and training other counselors.
In sessions she uses familiar cognitive and behavioral tools alongside acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas. She names Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among her approaches. She focuses on helping people recognize patterns, set boundaries, and build skills for managing intense emotions.
Her style emphasizes collaboration. Sessions move at a steady pace and aim for concrete changes people can use at home. She speaks English and accepts international clients who can connect from elsewhere.
Practical matters are handled up front. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that come from feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that maintain symptoms. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection and trust. It can help when family of origin issues, abandonment, or communication problems affect present relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, keeping appointments when travel would be difficult, and using shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to include work on communication and coping skills that apply in home life.
