About Tara

Tara Huber is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, ADHD, and addiction. She holds licenses as an LMHC and an LPC and brings 19 years of experience to sessions. Tara aims to make therapy a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can start wherever they are and work at their own pace.

Her style is warm, practical, and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients notice recurring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that get in the way. Together clients identify small, manageable steps to build confidence and better coping skills.

Tara supports people dealing with family and parenting challenges, grief, intimacy issues, body image and eating concerns, and career stress. She also works with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism spectrum issues, blended family dynamics, and fertility or caregiver stress.

Therapy with Tara often combines conversation with skill-building. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical strategies, EMDR for trauma processing, and relationship tools such as the Gottman Method when appropriate. Sessions focus on practical changes rather than perfect solutions.

She believes steady progress comes from awareness and small, intentional steps. Tara invites clients to explore what matters to them and to practice new ways of coping between sessions. Reaching out is framed as the first step toward creating a more manageable life.

How therapy approaches translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients lead the pace of change; it supports people who need a calm place to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for intense mood swings and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan along the way rather than committing to a single method from the start.

The biography does not list session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow quicker follow-ups when life gets hectic. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed and choose interactions that match their energy on a given day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT skills work, and client-centered conversations to an online setting, focusing on useful tools and steady progress rather than perfect outcomes.
