Sara Khaledpour, LPC, LCPC

Sara Khaledpour is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Missouri. She holds LPC and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credentials and has twelve years of experience. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape mood and behavior. She aims to help people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with motivation find clearer steps forward.

Sara keeps sessions direct and conversational. She builds a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. In sessions she listens to what matters most to each person and helps them notice patterns in thought and behavior that make life harder.

Her work often uses simple, practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and to build more helpful routines. She also draws on mindfulness to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Sara has supported people with depression, addictions, self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma, sleep and eating issues, and challenges at work or in relationships. She also addresses ADHD and compassion fatigue among other concerns. Her approach adapts to each person’s goals and pace.

Sessions are conducted in English and Persian. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. It helps people feel heard and decide their own goals while the therapist follows their lead.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and habits that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises to change thinking patterns and build new daily routines that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. It can be helpful for stress, sleep issues, and emotional reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is often part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. Some people prefer sessions that avoid video, while others like face-to-face conversation on camera; the therapist can discuss what works best for scheduling and communication.
