Dr. Sally Goh

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience and licensure in Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina. She began her career in community and addiction counseling and later moved into private practice and counselor education. Her work centers on forming a trusting, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and understood.

She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sleeping problems, substance concerns, and major life shifts. She also supports those facing career strain, relationship and family issues, caregiving stress, anger, low self-esteem, and the challenges of ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Coping with life changes is included among her focus areas.

Her approach is practical and step-by-step. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based work to teach skills for emotion regulation and clearer thinking. Attachment-based and client-centered methods guide how she builds trust and explores patterns from early relationships.

In sessions she helps people use their strengths, set boundaries, express needs, and reduce shame or guilt that holds them back. She also brings experience working with chronic health concerns and caregiving burdens, and she supports people dealing with abandonment, family of origin problems, and fatherhood concerns.

Dr. Goh is involved in mentoring and training other counselors and blends teaching with clinical work. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients; confirm the current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, and it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with relationship struggles and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may combine techniques rather than sticking to one named model.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people work with a licensed professional across regions when in-person visits are difficult. Ask about format options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your routine.
