About Sally
Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience who practices in Virginia. She combines a relationship-first style with practical skill teaching to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. Her background in community and addiction counseling informs how she supports people through grief, trauma, and life changes.
She favors clear, step-by-step work. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small, manageable steps toward goals. Clients learn tools to manage overwhelming feelings, set boundaries, and reduce self-blame so they can move forward with more confidence.
Her training includes approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based methods, used alongside client-centered principles. That mix helps people reframe difficult thoughts, build healthier relationships, and practice new behaviors between sessions. The emphasis is on workable skills rather than abstract theory.
Dr. Goh also brings experience with addiction, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue. She draws on that background when helping clients cope with chronic pain, caregiver stress, or persistent sleep problems. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
People considering therapy will find an approach focused on practical change and emotional safety. To begin, visitors choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule based on therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coaching through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and relationships, and can help with trust, communication, and attachment-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is reviewed together.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people also find it helpful to practice skills learned in sessions in their everyday settings and then bring questions back to the therapist for follow-up.
