Background and approach
Dr. Goh uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed perspectives, and dialectical behavior strategies. She helps people build skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and handling everyday challenges like sleep or anger problems.
Her background includes community-based and addiction counseling, and she has spent time mentoring and training other mental health counselors. That experience informs a calm, structured way of working with clients who feel stuck or burned out. Sessions commonly focus on identifying strengths, setting boundaries, and creating concrete plans for change.
Dr. Goh aims to help people reclaim a sense of purpose and greater self-confidence step by step. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can be chosen based on a person’s needs and schedule.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s often useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and trying practical exercises to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you progress. This collaborative process helps pick strategies that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the format that best supports your goals.
