About Tara
Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, values-focused approaches to help people move through tough moments. She emphasizes straightforward tools alongside compassionate listening. Tara speaks English and French and practices from Idaho.
Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Tara includes help for sleep and eating issues, anger, career questions, and life transitions.
How Tara works
Tara draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches. She blends these so people learn skills they can use between sessions. The Gottman Method informs her relationship-focused ideas when applicable.
Sessions combine practical exercises, values-based planning, and coaching-style check-ins. She aims to keep work usable and relevant to day-to-day life. Tara prefers clear goals and small steps that fit into a busy schedule.
Outside of clinical work she brings parent perspective to sessions and understands how real life complicates plans. That lived experience shapes her direct and nonjudgmental style. When she is not working she enjoys being outdoors, rock hunting, and spicy food.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It focuses on acceptance of difficult thoughts and building committed behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and reflection to help people feel heard and arrive at their own insights. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on ACT experiments, CBT skill work, or a client-centered pace so the plan fits the person’s life. Online sessions make this collaborative process flexible. Video calls allow interactive skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief coaching, standing questions between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.Start online instead of waiting
