About Sara
Sara Khaledpour is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with twelve years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and offers sessions in English and Persian. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, addictions, and anger, alongside other life challenges people bring to therapy.
Sara focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and direct, with tools people can use between meetings. Her approach combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That blend supports people who want to change thoughts and behaviors, learn coping skills, and practice present-moment awareness.
Motivational interviewing also appears in her work to help people find their own reasons for change. Sara has worked across a range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and complex co-morbid diagnoses.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people feel heard and can identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy helps people practice attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to fit each person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness practices, or a client-centered way of exploring issues like anger, anxiety, or addiction.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or text messaging offers shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches that help manage emotions and build coping skills.
