About Tara
Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, values-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, and relationship struggles. She writes in plain terms and focuses on building skills you can use at home and at work. Tara speaks English and French and practices from Idaho.
With ten years of clinical experience, she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered listening.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on small, doable steps toward those goals. She draws on mindfulness to help people notice patterns without getting stuck in them. Tara often helps with parenting concerns, communication problems, coping with life changes, and grief.
She also supports people facing depression, addiction, trauma, sleep or eating issues, and career stress. When ADHD is part of the picture she works alongside that concern to build routines and reduce overwhelm. Her style is warm and straightforward.
Clients can expect collaborative planning, practical tools, and space to talk through values and real-life barriers. She aims to make therapy feel down-to-earth rather than clinical. Outside of work she is a single mother and brings that lived perspective into session work with empathy.
She also enjoys outdoor time, rock hunting, and spicy food when she can. Tara responds to messages on weekdays and balances steady communication with healthy boundaries. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches to change you can use in online sessions
Tara commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. ACT helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when hard feelings are present. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening, empathy, and the person's own goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day realities rather than applying one fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or brief skill refreshers. These options make it easier to keep therapy regular while fitting it into busy family and work routines.
