Dr. Sally Goh, LPC

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of clinical and teaching experience. She practices in Virginia and holds LPC credentials listed for South Carolina and Georgia as well. Her work focuses on helping people who feel stuck by using relationship-centered talking and practical skills. She brings experience from community-based and addiction counseling into each session. That background informs her approach with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and substance issues. She also helps people dealing with career strain, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and changes that come with aging or caregiving. In sessions she favors a person-centered stance that prioritizes the client's voice. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Attachment-based ideas help when connection and trust are central to the problem. Clients can expect step-by-step plans that focus on real-life coping skills. She emphasizes assertiveness, healthy boundaries, and learning to rely on personal strengths. The goal is practical change rather than jargon or long lists of theory. Dr. Goh also mentors and trains other counselors, which keeps her practice informed by current clinical teaching. If someone feels overwhelmed by guilt, shame, or paralysis, she aims to help them move toward confidence and purpose. Work typically focuses on steady progress and restoring a sense of hope.

Online approaches and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match your values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to upsetting emotions and practicing different behaviors. It’s helpful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and some anger and addiction issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. Together you’ll decide which tools and exercises feel most useful and adjust them as you go.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking so you know what formats are possible. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let you continue therapy if you move or are outside the therapist’s region. Licensed professionals use these methods to help people practice skills between sessions and apply them to everyday situations.
