About Tara
Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and other life challenges. Sessions are practical and focused on building tools people can use between meetings.
Tara uses straightforward methods to help people manage strong emotions and everyday problems. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments that change how they respond. Mindfulness strategies are used to calm the body and slow reactive responses.
Relationship skills are part of her work when people want better communication or less reactivity with those close to them. She integrates Gottman-informed approaches for concrete communication and connection practices. When parenting issues come up, she brings practical guidance to ease daily overwhelm and set clearer routines and limits.
Tara also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, chronic pain or illness, ADHD, and feelings of isolation. She combines talk-based work with simple behavioral steps so clients leave sessions with next actions. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on what can change now.
She offers sessions in English and French and practices in Idaho. Tara asks clients to be ready to try homework and brief behavioral changes between sessions to make steady progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying values and taking small, usable steps toward them even when strong feelings are present. ACT is helpful for anger, stress, and motivation challenges.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT gives concrete exercises for changing reactions and improving sleep, mood, or work performance. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to develop simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and make it easier to pause before responding.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match current goals and daily life. That means trying things out and adjusting based on what helps reduce anger, improve communication, or ease anxiety.
