About Sara
Sara Khaledpour is a licensed counselor with more than a decade of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and motivation struggles.

Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits such as substance use or eating behaviors.
Her background includes work across mood disorders, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, body image concerns, cancer-related distress, and communication problems. That breadth helps when problems overlap or feel complicated.

Online support
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values. It helps when people feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by big life questions and wants to clarify what matters to them.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work through emotions and gain confidence to try new behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or motivation.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan as needed so it fits day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and detailed work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into work, school, or family routines.
