About Tara
Tara High is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Idaho with 10 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, parenting, relationships, and related concerns. She works with individuals facing issues such as depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are offered in English and French and she describes a practical, skills-focused approach.
Tara emphasizes clear tools you can use between sessions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm the body and focus attention when worry feels overwhelming.
Her work also integrates Client-Centered principles, offering space to talk through current struggles and decisions. For relationship concerns she draws on Gottman-informed ideas aimed at improving communication and reducing repeated conflicts. She also supports parenting questions with pragmatic strategies that parents can try right away.
Tara notes experience across a broad range of life challenges, including chronic pain, codependency, isolation, and career stress. She speaks frankly about real-life pressures, such as balancing parenting and work, and aims to help people develop clearer values and next steps. She welcomes conversations that include faith or spirituality when that matters to the client.
Practical matters are part of her practice too. Tara uses a subscription-based session system that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people follow the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, even when anxiety or fear is present. In an online session this can look like setting concrete, achievable steps to try during the week and reviewing how they felt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks worries into thought patterns and behaviors and tests them with experiments and practice. Online meetings can include guided thought records and behavioral plans to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their own experiences; this helps online conversations stay grounded and personal.Tara treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will discuss the methods above and others, listen to what matters to the client, and together decide which techniques to try first. That process can shift as goals and needs become clearer over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a video conversation from a quieter spot. They also allow work on skills such as mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication practice without travel. Tara uses practical tools and homework that can be tracked between sessions to help integrate changes into daily life.
