About Tara
Tara Huber is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and life transitions. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and brings 19 years of experience to her work. Tara aims to make therapy a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk, think things through, and try small changes that add up.
Tara emphasizes practical, collaborative work. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep someone stuck while also noticing strengths already present.
Background and approach
She helps people build coping skills, handle parenting and family challenges, and manage mood and attention concerns like depression, bipolar, and ADHD. <brHer practice uses several recognized approaches. She often uses client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thinking patterns fuel distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy supports emotion regulation and coping skills, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of trauma-focused work. Tara also works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, attachment, autism, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and fertility problems.
She guides people through relationship difficulties, intimacy questions, communication problems, and recovery from substance use or eating-related issues. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Tara aims to walk alongside clients as they try new steps and build confidence.
She encourages beginning therapy even when it feels uncomfortable, and she supports steady, manageable progress rather than perfection.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals; online sessions let the therapist follow a person's pace and priorities while offering consistent support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed remotely. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are taught in short, skill-focused conversations that translate well to virtual sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer, and adjustments are made together.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed or choose fuller sessions when they want deeper work. Licensed professionals can help tailor scheduling and session style to practical needs and personal preferences.
