About Tara
Tara Huber is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting issues, and related life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Her work is practical and problem-focused. She looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Then she helps people try different responses and new skills. Progress is built from small, intentional steps rather than perfection.
Tara uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered techniques to center the person’s perspective and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions.
When trauma is present she can integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) elements to address distressing memories. For relationship concerns she uses ideas from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. She helps with practical issues like sleep, eating, parenting stresses, and career transitions as well.
Tara focuses on collaborative work. Early sessions tend to clarify problems and set concrete goals. Later sessions practice skills, adjust strategies, and review what works. To get started, the site’s online matching and scheduling process is used to arrange an initial meeting.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Tara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and experiment with different behaviors. CBT sessions typically include goal setting, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between meetings.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means the therapist listens closely to the person’s perspective and uses that input to guide session topics and pacing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotions run high; DBT techniques teach specific tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. These skills can be practiced during and between online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Tara will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That recommendation is collaborative; she adjusts methods based on what helps most.
The original biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills in real-life settings and quickly reviewing homework between sessions.
