About Tara
Tara Huber is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can come as they are and start from wherever they are in their story. Tara emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth approach that aims to make coping feel more manageable.
She uses collaboration to guide sessions, helping people notice patterns and try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be getting in the way, and on strengths clients already have. Tara helps people build confidence and stronger ways to handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. Her work includes support for concerns like ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, mood issues, eating and sleeping problems, and identity-related stress.
She also pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver strain, communication problems, and adjustments after divorce or separation. Tara draws on practical therapy methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior ideas, EMDR for trauma-related processing, and relationship-focused techniques like the Gottman Method. She tailors these approaches to match each person’s needs and goals.
Tara is based in Missouri and works in English, and she accepts clients from outside the United States as well.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Tara uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy as steady guides in sessions. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person’s experience and strengths, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people gain clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also integrates EMDR when trauma processing is needed. EMDR involves guided memory processing aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of painful memories; it is often used for trauma-related stress and symptoms. These approaches are selected and blended based on each person’s goals and what feels most helpful in practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will choose methods together, adjusting as goals and needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure sessions match what the person wants to address and how they prefer to work.
