About Tara
Tara Huber is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can be themselves. Tara aims to help clients who are worn down by stress, sleep problems, anxiety, relationship strain, or life transitions.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps a person can try between meetings. Tara pays attention to thoughts, feelings, behavior patterns, and daily routines that affect sleep, mood, and functioning.
She combines client-centered principles with specific tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and the Gottman Method are also part of her toolbox when appropriate. The goal is to build coping skills, improve sleep and self-regulation, and strengthen important relationships.
Tara has worked with a wide range of concerns across nearly two decades. That experience includes supporting people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, eating and body image issues, fertility and parenting stress, and changes after adoption or family transitions.
Her approach emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than perfection. Tara helps people notice their strengths, try new habits for better sleep and mood, and adjust expectations as life changes. She encourages straightforward conversation and practical strategies aimed at everyday improvement.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person's pace and goals, which helps people feel heard and understood during remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, offering concrete strategies to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced between online meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful for sleep, stress, and daily functioning.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit appointments into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep short check-ins, and allows work on sleep routines in the context of daily life. Online work supports using worksheets, practicing coping skills between sessions, and tracking small changes that improve rest and wellbeing.
