About Sally

Dr. Sally Goh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She is licensed in South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and relationship and family concerns.

She favors approaches that focus on emotions and attachment, and she uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based ideas. In sessions she talks through feelings, patterns, and what gets in the way of better days. Her background includes community-based counseling and addiction work, and she has experience supporting people after adverse childhood experiences.

Her style emphasizes a collaborative relationship. She helps clients notice difficult emotions and the patterns those feelings create. Sessions often involve learning concrete coping skills, practicing clear communication, and exploring how past attachments shape current reactions.

She also brings experience mentoring and training other counselors, which informs how she organizes sessions and explains strategies. Over time she helps people build boundaries, reduce shame and guilt, and reclaim energy for priorities they value.

Clients can expect step-by-step work focused on realistic goals. Dr. Goh uses her clinical approaches to address practical problems like sleeping, anger, career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness impacts, and attention difficulties. She encourages steady progress through small, manageable changes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and naming core emotions and attachment patterns that shape interactions. It is useful for people who want to better understand why certain feelings keep repeating and how those feelings influence behavior.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions aligned with their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to stay present and commit to small behavioral steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at earlier relationships to understand current patterns. This approach supports work on belonging, abandonment concerns, and communication problems by connecting past experiences to present reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize emotion processing, skill-building, or values-focused exercises.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adjust pacing and homework to suit an online rhythm, helping clients use strategies between sessions and apply skills in everyday life.
