01About Tara
Tara Huber is a compassionate counselor who welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 19 years of experience. Tara aims to make sessions feel warm and nonjudgmental so clients can speak honestly and start making small changes.
She uses a collaborative, practical approach that names the thoughts and patterns keeping someone stuck.
Background and approach
Tara helps people build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addiction, mood shifts, and life transitions. Tara draws from a few well-known therapy styles to match each person's needs.
She focuses on what feels useful in daily life and practices skills together during sessions. Work often starts with understanding strengths, trying small experiments, and adjusting as needed. Many people seek her help for family and parenting strain, intimacy and communication challenges, body image and eating concerns, and attachment or adoption-related issues.
She also works with people facing job stress, fertility struggles, or the fallout from natural and human-caused disasters. Tara believes change happens through steady, intentional steps rather than perfection. She strives to be a steady presence as clients try new ways of handling old problems and move toward clearer goals.

04Online support
Approaches for online work and finding the right fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. It helps people feel heard and makes it easier to try new ways of coping when life feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches clear strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing habits that get in the way of daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation and practical skills for handling intense feelings and relationship stress. It can be helpful for people who want structure and step-by-step tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals and preferences. That may mean trying strategies from one model or blending ideas from several to see what works best.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions fit into busy days. Licensed professionals can guide clients to the approaches and session rhythms that fit their life and needs.
