About Tara

Tara High is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who offers a warm, down-to-earth approach to common life stresses. She focuses on practical tools for people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and feeling stuck. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to help clients make small changes that feel useful day to day.

With ten years as an LPC, she brings steady experience to sessions. Tara emphasizes values and what matters to each person, then helps them take steps toward those goals. She mixes hands-on coping skills with reflective work so people can manage tough moments and build on progress.

Tara often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts, choose actions, and reduce unhelpful patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep conversations focused on the client’s needs and priorities. These approaches are adapted to issues like grief, trauma, addiction, chronic pain, and parenting stress.

She is comfortable including faith or spirituality when clients want that woven into therapy. Tara connects everyday parenting realities with practical strategies for behavior and emotional regulation. Her background working with a range of concerns informs a flexible, problem-solving style.

Tara practices in Idaho and speaks both English and French. She encourages prospective clients to use the Start Therapy path to match with her and to schedule sessions that align with their goals.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce worry and improve mood. It commonly helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client’s experience, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening so people feel understood and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps most, so clients are active partners in shaping their plan.

Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work with therapists who speak English or French without relocating. Discuss format preferences when you start so sessions match your routine and needs.
