Tara High

Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She is direct and practical in session and prioritizes building tools people can use at home. Tara speaks English and French and draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.

With 10 years of experience, Tara supports people facing parenting challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. She also works with issues such as ADHD, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and problems with sleep or eating. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and help people take small, manageable steps forward.

Tara blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Gottman-informed relationship strategies, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she emphasizes values, practical skills, and short-term strategies alongside longer-term emotional work. Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances empathy with concrete techniques.

She brings relatable life experience to her work as a single mom, which informs a down-to-earth and nonjudgmental manner. Tara is comfortable including spiritual or faith perspectives when a client wants that to be part of therapy. Messages are typically answered on weekdays, with an aim toward consistent communication while maintaining healthy boundaries.

How Tara’s approaches work in online therapy

Tara commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practices alternative responses to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making means techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm session formats before booking, since format details are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and letting people meet from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so you can practice tools between meetings and bring real-life experience back into therapy.
