Evidence-Informed Therapy, Designed for Online Connection
Dr. Sally Goh integrates approaches that are practical, relationship-centered, and grounded in skills clients can use in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and then practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It often supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, painful memories, or self-criticism. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Goh works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and shape sessions around preferences and current needs, adjusting strategies as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during travel, and choose the format that feels most comfortable day to day.
