Dr. Sally Goh, LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She holds LPC credentials and works from Virginia while also holding licenses in Georgia and South Carolina. She began in community and addiction counseling and later moved into private practice and counselor education.

Her approach centers on building a trusting, collaborative relationship. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can make steady progress. When someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or paralyzed by emotional pain, she offers step-by-step support to regain direction.

Dr. Goh draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral work, attachment-informed perspectives, and acceptance-based approaches to help people process trauma, manage anxiety, and reduce depression. She also brings experience addressing substance use, grief, and the effects of adverse childhood experiences. Her background includes mentoring and training other mental health counselors.

Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life changes. Clients learn to use their strengths to set boundaries, assert needs, and let go of guilt and shame. The work often includes developing coping tools, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence.

Her stated aim is to support healing that leads to authentic hope and lasting change. People who want a relational, goal-oriented therapist who mixes skill-building with emotional processing may find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values-based action so clients can move toward a meaningful life despite pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns that started early and still affect how people connect now; it helps repair trust and improve communication.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow focused check-ins when a brief session is helpful. It can also let people use visual or audio sessions depending on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about the current session options to find what works best.
