About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with ten years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions draw on a relationship-focused, person-centered stance that centers the client's voice.
Before private practice, she worked in community and addiction counseling and continues mentoring and training other counselors. That background informs practical skills for managing substance use concerns and complicated grief. Her work often addresses childhood adversity, cross-cultural and generational belonging issues, and attachment patterns that affect current relationships.
In sessions she uses clear, evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, and dialectical behavior tools. She also integrates approaches aimed at understanding emotional responses and rebuilding boundaries. Conversations tend to be step-by-step so clients can try strategies between meetings.
Clients learn concrete skills for handling overwhelming feelings, setting limits, and coping with shame or guilt carried from other people. She emphasizes relearning assertiveness and noticing strengths already in use. The practical goal is to help people feel more in control of decisions and relationships.
Dr. Goh speaks English and works with people from varied backgrounds, including international clients. She is licensed as an LPC in South Carolina and Georgia as well as Virginia. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters. It can help people struggling with people-pleasing, stuckness, or avoidance by teaching practical steps to act on values despite difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and managing urges tied to addiction or reactive anger.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and responses now. It helps people understand relational patterns, recognize codependent tendencies, and practice new ways of relating and setting limits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to early sessions, then adapt methods so you can practice skills between meetings. That way the plan fits your needs rather than forcing a single model.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits work or caregiving days. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT, CBT, and attachment-based tools through virtual meetings to help you build clearer boundaries and practical coping skills.
