About Tara
Tara High, LPC, uses an approachable, values-focused style to help people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, and life transitions. She frames sessions around practical skills and small changes that fit into busy days. Tara keeps her language direct and down-to-earth so parents and individuals can use tools right away.
With ten years as a licensed professional counselor, Tara draws on methods that encourage present-moment awareness and flexible action. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered listening. That mix helps people notice what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those goals.
Tara has focused on many concerns over her career, including parenting challenges, relationship issues, grief, trauma, substance concerns, mood differences, and sleep difficulties. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, ADHD, and the emotional work of major life changes. Her practice includes attention to communication problems, codependency, and self-esteem struggles.
Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions often involve simple exercises, goal-setting, and steady check-ins to see what is working. Tara sometimes incorporates mindfulness practices to calm the body and improve sleep routines.
Outside of clinical work she draws on everyday parenting experience and a sense of humor to keep things real. She offers sessions in English and French and sees clients in Idaho. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions and daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce the struggle with uncomfortable thoughts and supports changes in behavior that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and sleep patterns; it often includes simple homework and brief skill practice between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention and breathing practices to calm the body, improve emotional awareness, and support better sleep routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tara partners with each person to discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful. She adapts methods over time so clients can try techniques and stick with what helps most. This collaborative process aims to find practical tools that fit a client's routine.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific online options are listed on the scheduling page. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in real-life settings between meetings. Licensed professionals generally use these approaches to make therapy flexible and focused on everyday improvements.
