About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and brings a relationship-focused, person-centered approach to sessions.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and addiction-related concerns. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are used to clarify values and build small, doable steps toward meaningful action.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect how someone connects today. Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Dr.
Goh helps clients break problems into manageable parts. That can mean learning breathing and grounding skills, practicing new ways to speak up, or building routines that support sleep and mood. She has a background in community and addiction counseling and has spent time mentoring other mental health professionals.
That experience informs a steady, supportive style when people feel overwhelmed or stuck. Dr. Goh works collaboratively to set goals and track progress.
She focuses on helping people regain confidence, set boundaries, and reduce shame or guilt that no longer serves them. People often come for help with life transitions, relationship issues, career stress, and coping after loss. Her sessions combine straightforward skill teaching with compassionate listening.
The aim is to help people move from feeling paralyzed by problems to taking practical steps toward a more manageable life.

Approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small actions that align with your values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to reduce avoidance and build steady habits that improve daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems active. In teletherapy, CBT often includes homework, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can practice between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Over video or phone, this approach supports understanding of triggers and learning new ways to relate that reduce conflict and loneliness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Goh will talk with clients about goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on how someone responds. That collaborative process makes it easier to find what actually improves day-to-day functioning.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and real-time feedback. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and coaching possible between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
