Tara High

Tara High is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses mindfulness as a central part of her work. She brings a warm, down-to-earth style and focuses on practical skills that people can use day to day. Tara speaks English and French and sees clients from Idaho. She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and ADHD. Tara also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, disability, codependency, life transitions, career issues, and emotional overwhelm. She works with issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping, anger, and self-esteem. Her approach blends Mindfulness Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and Gottman-informed relationship ideas. In sessions she focuses on values, small practical changes, and skills that can be used between meetings. The practice emphasizes collaboration and pacing that fits each person. Tara has been practicing for 10 years as an LPC. She talks plainly and aims to help people build tools they can try right away. She also draws on parenting strategies and relationship methods when relevant to the goals a person brings. Outside of work she is a single mom who enjoys being outdoors, rock hunting, and good spicy food. Her personal experience with busy family life informs a realistic and nonjudgmental style in the therapy room.

Mindfulness and acceptance approaches for online support

Mindfulness Therapy centers attention on the present moment and gentle awareness of thoughts and feelings, helping people manage stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small action steps toward them while accepting difficult inner experiences. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects to help clients find their own answers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tara will collaborate with each person to see which combination of practices - mindfulness exercises, acceptance-based strategies, or cognitive skills - fits their goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs evolve, and clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone better. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness practices and ACT exercises to a remote setting so skills can be practiced between meetings and applied in daily life.
