Dr. Sally Good

Dr. Sally Good is a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 33204) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems, career uncertainty, and life purpose questions. Her background includes work on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and other life-stage challenges.

She takes a practical, conversational approach in sessions. People can expect to talk about what’s most worrying them now and try straightforward steps that may help reduce daily strain. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values in day-to-day life.

Dr. Good has written a gratitude and prayer journal and the book Preventing Dementia Using Gentle Lifestyle Changes, and she hosts the podcast Goodbody/Goodbrain. Those projects reflect an interest in lifestyle factors such as sleep and nutrition and how they relate to mood and thinking.

In sessions she may combine evidence-based techniques with practical habits to try at home. Discussions can include improving sleep, adjusting routines, working on motivation, or planning next steps at work. She encourages clear, small goals and checks progress together.

Her practice integrates attention to multicultural concerns and issues that arise across the lifespan, including hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiver burden, and challenges faced by veterans. Adults considering therapy can expect direct conversation about what matters next and how to test changes in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, meaning questions, and coping during change. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a steady, listening stance that supports reflection and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses structured exercises to shift patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit those aims. That lets the therapist and client check what helps and adjust the focus if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone-only sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and homework to work in an online setting so the practical parts of therapy can be done between meetings.
