Telehealth Counseling in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
Life in Lee’s Summit can feel full — full of responsibilities, expectations, and pressures that don’t always leave space for your emotional well-being. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, unresolved trauma, or life transitions, online therapy offers a safe, private, and effective way to feel supported — all from the comfort of home.
I’m Sara Wilper, LCSW, and I provide online counseling and EMDR therapy for adults in Lee’s Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, Kansas City, and surrounding Missouri communities. With over 25 years of experience, I help clients heal from deep emotional pain while building real-life coping skills and resilience.
Is Online Therapy Right for You?
You might be in the right place if:
Anxiety feels like a daily weight you carry.
Past trauma impacts your relationships or sense of safety.
Grief from loss — whether a loved one, a relationship, or a life chapter — lingers longer than you expected.
You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.
You want compassionate, experienced support that fits your life.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel more grounded, understood, and at peace within your own life.
