About Tara
Tara High is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, values-driven work to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and helps clients find tools they can use in daily life. Tara draws on therapies that emphasize behavior, choices, and present-focused skills.
Tara has about 10 years of counseling experience in Idaho. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and the Gottman Method to address worry, grief, addiction, low self-esteem, and life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and then build steps toward those values. Her style is warm and practical. Conversations are focused on real problems and doable strategies rather than long theory.
Clients work on small, measurable changes like sleep habits, coping skills for anxiety, or clearer communication patterns. Tara also supports concerns like chronic pain and illness, codependency, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She offers services in English and French and uses several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedules.
Outside of work Tara is a parent and enjoys outdoor time and spicy food. That everyday perspective informs a down-to-earth way of talking about hard things, without judgment and with attention to the demands of busy family life.
Therapeutic approaches for online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck when life changes make decisions hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and daily habits, which can help with worry, sleep problems, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple awareness practices that calm the mind and reduce reactivity. These practices can support stress management, grieving, and building steady routines. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is made. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit brief check-ins or homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work between meetings.Questions people ask
