About Sara
Sara Khaledpour is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, relationship pain, trauma, and codependency issues. Sessions are conversational and direct, focused on making small, manageable changes.
Sara uses practical tools to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Motivation-focused conversations help people find reasons to try different ways of coping.
In sessions she encourages clear goals and step-by-step plans. That can mean practicing a new boundary, testing a different response to stress, or working through urges tied to addictive behavior. Work often mixes short skills practice with talk about what gets in the way of using those skills.
Sara also helps people address relationship issues like communication, intimacy concerns, and patterns of over-responsibility. She pays attention to how past hurts and attachment issues affect present choices. Clients who worry about losing themselves in a relationship may find practical, concrete strategies here.
She offers therapy in English and Persian. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting to help people feel understood and to clarify what they want to change. This approach works well for people who need space to name what matters and to set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending listening-based conversations with skill practice and motivational techniques during the early sessions.
