About Sara
Sara Khaledpour is a licensed counselor practicing in Missouri with 12 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and has supported people facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and depression.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional understanding to help clients navigate life transitions and chronic challenges. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to tailor work to each person’s needs.
She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings while learning skills for coping, motivation, and healthier patterns. Sara also addresses relational and intimacy-related issues, grief, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a variety of complex presentations that may accompany co-morbidity or past trauma.
Sessions may involve problem-focused skill building as well as reflective conversations about values and goals. Sara communicates in English and Persian and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules.
She frames the therapeutic process as collaborative, supporting clients as they take steps toward greater functioning and personal meaning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore personal goals and challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and many everyday difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and emotional pain.Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then suggest strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made. This ongoing collaboration helps ensure the work fits both the person's situation and what feels most useful in session.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver skill-building exercises, reflective conversation, and homework between meetings.
