About Tara
Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She focuses on clear, usable tools so clients can try strategies between sessions. Tara often works with people facing anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, anger, and life transitions.
Her style is warm and direct. She emphasizes values-based choices and small, achievable steps. Sessions mix talk with skills practice so people leave with something they can use right away.
Background and approach
Tara draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful reactions. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to support self-awareness and emotion regulation. Her work includes relationship concerns, communication problems, and issues around self-esteem and coping.
With ten years of experience as an LPC in Idaho, Tara brings both clinical knowledge and everyday perspective. She speaks English and French, and she has worked with people dealing with chronic pain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other concerns. Her background includes helping people who are navigating career changes, parenting challenges, and isolation.
Outside of work she balances life as a parent and enjoys being outdoors and trying spicy food. That practical, down-to-earth perspective informs how she collaborates with people in therapy.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It often focuses on small steps toward what matters, which can ease anger, anxiety, and life-change stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that increase distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing anger.Tara treats the choice of approach as a collaboration. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust strategies based on how things are going. This means the work evolves as progress and challenges appear, with regular check-ins to make sure the plan feels helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and a way to review tools in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while continuing the same skill-building work used in person.
