Tara Huber

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 welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or life changes and prefers a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach. Tara aims to make first steps easier by creating a calm, supportive space where clients can speak honestly and begin to sort things out.

Her work is collaborative and practical. She helps people notice patterns in thoughts and feelings, then tries small, useful changes that can make daily life feel better. Sessions may focus on building coping skills, improving communication, mending relationship strains, or managing difficult emotions like anger and grief.

Tara uses a mix of methods to suit each person. She leans on client-centered conversations and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, among other approaches. She also uses techniques that can be helpful after traumatic experiences and methods for couples when relationship work is needed.

Clients often come for help with parenting stress, attention and mood challenges, substance concerns, body image, attachment or adoption questions, and life transitions. Tara emphasizes starting small and using strengths clients already have to make steady progress.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary and use a cancelable subscription structure tied to location and scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Tara commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping people decide what changes feel right. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors together and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT teaches concrete tools for managing strong feelings, tolerating distress, and improving communication when relationships are strained.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tara will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From there, she tailors methods and checks in regularly to adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since options are arranged through the service. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for sessions during lunch breaks or between appointments. It also makes ongoing work possible for people living far from a therapist or managing frequent schedule changes.
