About Sara

Sara Khaledpour is a licensed counselor practicing in Missouri with LPC and LCPC credentials and twelve years of clinical experience. She supports people facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and many related difficulties.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping clients with eating and sleeping troubles, career and life transitions, compassion fatigue, and complex co-occurring problems. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's experience.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and build practical skills for coping and change. Sara integrates client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, existential inquiry, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to individual goals.

Sessions may focus on symptom relief, strengthening motivation, or clarifying values and meaning to guide decision making. Conversations can be conducted in English or Persian, and she offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules.

Clients who are ready to begin are invited to start the matching process and schedule sessions according to available times.

Practical approaches and online options for changing patterns

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an open, empathic relationship where clients lead the conversation and feel heard; this approach helps people clarify goals and feel supported while exploring change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and teaches techniques for reducing reactivity and building calm, often pairing well with other strategies to manage stress and cravings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods over time so care remains relevant and practical for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person meetings are not possible. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed techniques, monitor progress, and adjust treatment while accommodating different communication styles and time constraints.
