About Tara
Tara High is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, values-driven work for people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. She presents a warm and down-to-earth style that aims to help people find small, usable steps forward. Tara is comfortable including faith or spirituality when it matters to a client.
Tara draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters and take values-based action.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when patterns of thought and behavior are getting in the way. Client-centered and mindfulness methods support noticing feelings and building self-compassion. Her work is practical and goal-oriented.
Sessions often include simple tools and strategies people can use between meetings. Tara emphasizes clear goals and follow-through, so progress feels tangible rather than vague. Parents often seek her out for help with overwhelm, behavior concerns, and relationship stress that affects family life.
She blends relationship-focused techniques and parenting ideas to support daily routines and communication at home. Outside of therapy, Tara balances parenting life and outdoor hobbies. She speaks English and French and sees clients who live in Idaho.
Her ten years of clinical work shape a grounded approach that values honesty, curiosity, and steady effort.

How Tara’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. Online sessions using ACT often focus on clarifying priorities and planning doable actions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing new responses and tracking progress in everyday life. In remote sessions CBT can include worksheets, thought records, and skill rehearsal over video or text. Client-centered work centers on listening and reflecting to help people feel understood and to build self-directed insight, which pairs well with brief check-ins and ongoing messaging support.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to try ACT, CBT, client-centered techniques, or a mix, and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you practice conversations and body language work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick coaching, sharing updates, and keeping momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
