Sara Khaledpour, LPC, LCPC

Sara Khaledpour is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Missouri. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She listens without judgment and encourages honest conversation about what matters most to each person.

Her work centers on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also helps people dealing with grief, trauma, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career stress. Aging and geriatric issues are among the additional areas she pays attention to when relevant.

Sessions emphasize a respectful, client-centered tone. She aims to build a supportive space where people can name their challenges, test new ways of coping, and set small, realistic goals. Motivational techniques and mindfulness practices are used where they can help increase focus and follow-through.

Sara draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. Existential themes may come into play for people facing life transitions or questions about meaning. The overall focus is on practical steps that fit a person’s daily life rather than abstract theory.

She works with English and Persian speakers and combines empathy with clear planning. For someone who wants calm, direct guidance and steady support through change, her approach aims to be both warm and results-oriented.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique concerns. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sara will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, handle caregiving responsibilities, or keep regular appointments during life changes. Others appreciate shorter check-ins or sessions scheduled around work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational strategies, and mindfulness practices to online settings so the therapy focuses on concrete skills that transfer to everyday life.
