About Tara
Tara Huber is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Iowa with 19 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, ADHD, addictions, and a wide range of family and life-change issues, including blended family concerns.
She takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. Conversations focus on the thoughts and patterns that cause trouble. She also highlights strengths clients already have and builds simple skills to cope with daily life.
Tara uses a mix of well-known methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to listen and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
For people who have experienced trauma, Tara may use EMDR to address painful memories and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. She also integrates relationship work informed by the Gottman Method when communication and connection are goals.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Clients can expect clear suggestions, skill practice, and steps to try between meetings. Tara works with adults facing parenting and family transitions, adoption or foster care concerns, attachment or autism-related issues, and many day-to-day struggles like sleep, eating, and career stress.
She accepts people from different places, including international clients, and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options on the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and letting the client guide what to work on. Online sessions using this approach start with the client’s priorities and build practical next steps for daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions this often means practicing new habits, using worksheets, and reviewing what worked between meetings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method for processing painful memories. When EMDR is used online, the therapist explains the steps clearly, guides the client through the process, and checks in frequently to adjust pacing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time, and schedule during a break at work or between commitments. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or reduced screen time when bandwidth is an issue.
