Dr. Sally Goh

Dr. Sally Goh is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of experience in mental health. She practices in Virginia and has licensure in multiple states. Her work focuses on helping people who feel stuck with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficulties with sleep and rest.

She begins by building a trusting, collaborative relationship so people feel heard. Sessions emphasize practical steps that can be used between meetings. In many cases she guides clients to use their own strengths to set boundaries, reduce shame, and regain confidence.

Her background includes community-based counseling and addiction work, and she has experience mentoring and training other counselors. That practical experience shapes how she supports people facing trauma, adverse childhood experiences, or cross-cultural and generational questions about belonging.

In sessions she uses a mix of cognitive and relational methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and attachment-focused ideas. She also incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior approaches and acceptance-based methods when useful.

People who come for help with sleep and rest concerns will work on routines, coping skills, and manageable behavior changes. Dr. Goh assists with emotion regulation, stress reduction, and planning to improve day-to-day functioning. Work is paced to match each person’s needs and goals.

If someone prefers to start by describing their main concern, she will help create a step-by-step plan. That plan often includes small, practical tasks to try between sessions and review at follow-up visits.
