About Tara
Tara High is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. She writes plans that fit into busy lives and helps people find steady routines when things feel chaotic. Tara uses straightforward tools to address mood, relationships, parenting strains, and life changes.
With ten years of experience, Tara blends several approaches to tailor care to each person. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered techniques create a respectful space where people feel heard. She helps with a wide range of concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and sleep or eating problems.
Tara also supports those coping with chronic pain, ADHD, codependency, and career or money stress. She is willing to include spiritual or faith perspectives when a client wants that. Tara practices from Idaho and offers sessions in English and French.
Her style is warm and practical; she focuses on building everyday skills clients can use between sessions. She encourages collaboration so people can pick the tools that fit their life. Outside of practice, Tara is a single parent and brings that lived perspective into her work.
She balances therapy with family life and enjoys outdoor time and spicy food when not seeing clients.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and finding motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework between sessions. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people feel understood and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That means trying strategies, adjusting what doesn't fit, and building a plan together over time so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy with Tara uses a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls are useful for more in-depth sessions and when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to attend therapy around work, parenting, and daily life.
