About Tara
Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who emphasizes practical, values-based work. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, and feeling stuck. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on building doable tools rather than just talking about problems.
With ten years of professional experience, Tara blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients connect with values and take meaningful steps. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support emotional regulation and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Tara treats a wide range of concerns, including depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses practical life stresses such as career strain, caregiving fatigue, and money and financial issues. Her work includes supporting people who cope with chronic pain, isolation, and life transitions.
She describes her approach as creative and pragmatic. Sessions focus on simple strategies people can use between meetings, and on clarifying what matters most to the client. Tara can incorporate faith or spirituality into work when that is important to the person she is seeing.
Outside of clinical work she is a single mother and draws on everyday parenting experience to relate to the realities of busy life. She communicates during weekdays and aims to balance responsiveness with sustainable boundaries.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them, even when emotions are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client’s lead to support growth and self-understanding. Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Tara works with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will help weigh options and adjust techniques over time so the work stays relevant and useful. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or sessions by phone can reduce bandwidth needs compared with video. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity during life changes and for accessing a licensed professional from a distance.Areas of focus
