Dr. Sally Goh, LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical and teaching experience. She practices in Virginia and has worked in community and addiction counseling settings. Dr. Goh emphasizes a relationship-driven, person-centered way of working so people feel heard and respected from the start.

Her work focuses on common life strains like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleeping problems, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Career issues, self-esteem, anger, and relationship and family challenges are part of her regular caseload.

Dr. Goh draws on a range of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people connect with values and take meaningful action.

Attachment-based and client-centered elements shape how she builds trust and explores relational patterns. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Her background in counselor education means she often explains what she’s doing and why, so people can learn skills that last.

People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out will find a step-by-step focus on practical skills, boundary setting, and reclaiming personal strength. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals, more confidence, and healthier everyday routines.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Dr. Goh uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and daily stressors.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people get clearer about their values and take small actions toward a meaningful life, a good match for midlife transitions and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what tends to help them. Together they choose techniques that feel practical and manageable, and adjust as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these arrangements to focus on skill-building, emotional regulation, and value-driven action in ways that integrate with everyday life.
