About Tara

Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who blends Narrative ideas with practical therapy methods. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on building tools people can use between sessions.

She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and see options they may have missed.

Background and approach

Tara also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and take steps aligned with their values. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Tara has about 10 years of experience as a counselor.

She brings practical skills for coping with overwhelm, improving communication, and managing mood or addictive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, disability, or caregiving strain. Her approach includes relationship-focused tools informed by Gottman work and straightforward coaching for career, money, and life-purpose questions.

She is comfortable including faith or spirituality when clients want that incorporated into therapy. Tara offers sessions in English and French and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She aims to help clients leave each meeting with something concrete to try between sessions.

Online session options

How Narrative and Action-Oriented Therapy Work Online

Therapy with Tara combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe the stories they carry about themselves, relationships, and life events; this can uncover new choices and priorities. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking small committed steps toward what matters most.

These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, try different ways of working, and adjust based on how helpful each method feels. Deciding on an approach is part of the work rather than a fixed promise up front, and clients are invited to weigh in about what feels useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or follow-up between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, work breaks, or when travel would be difficult.
