About Tara
Tara High is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Idaho with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and helps people who are coping with grief, trauma, addictions, mood issues, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward, practical methods so people leave sessions with tools they can try between meetings. Sessions often include strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and relationship ideas influenced by the Gottman Method. Tara describes her style as down-to-earth and action oriented rather than purely talk-based.
Her background includes sustained work supporting parents and adults who are managing emotional overwhelm, behavior concerns in the home, and the challenges that come with caregiving. She draws on approaches that help people identify values, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild daily routines affected by sleep, eating, or chronic illness issues.
Tara also incorporates discussions of faith or spiritual beliefs when clients want that included. She speaks English and French and brings her own lived experience as a parent into how she frames practical solutions for household stress and parenting strain.
Outside of practice she enjoys outdoor activities, rock hunting, and spicy food. Communication is handled on weekdays with an emphasis on predictable responses while keeping healthy boundaries.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Tara often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while making committed changes. It can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for sleep, mood, and anxiety concerns.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and respond differently in daily life. Mindfulness exercises are brief and can be practiced between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve focus at home. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Tara will discuss goals and preferences and then try strategies together to see what fits best.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices so they can be used in day-to-day family routines.
