Tara High, LPC - Therapist in Idaho

About Tara

Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, hands-on techniques to help families and parents manage stress and everyday struggles. She focuses on concrete tools parents can use at home. Her tone is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at people who need clear help now.

Tara draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people focus on what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

Sessions often include small steps you can try between meetings. She has ten years of experience and works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, parenting and family problems, trauma, grief, and issues like sleep and eating. Tara also supports people facing chronic pain, codependency, and career or money stress.

Tara brings a practical style to the room. She listens without judgment and helps parents and caregivers develop routines, communication strategies, and coping skills. She explains ideas in plain language and helps clients practice them in real life.

She offers services in English and French and works from Idaho. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people set goals and picks strategies that fit the family’s needs and daily life. Outside of work she enjoys outdoor time and is a parent herself, which shapes her down-to-earth perspective.

Online approaches that fit family life

Tara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are hard. ACT is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines; CBT can help with sleep, mood, and anxiety by teaching practical skills to use day to day.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tara will talk with each family or individual about goals and preferences, and she will suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These options make it easier to connect from home, handle last-minute needs, and practice new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work flexible and accessible for parents and caregivers juggling many responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
