About Tara
Tara High is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and feeling stuck. She presents a warm and practical style and focuses on giving tools people can use in day-to-day life.
She has about ten years of experience as a counselor and works with adults and parents navigating emotional overwhelm, behavior concerns, and life transitions. Her work emphasizes values and small, doable steps toward meaningful goals. Tara describes her approach as down-to-earth and nonjudgmental.
Tara blends several approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and accept difficult emotions while moving forward. She uses Client-Centered techniques to create an empathic space where people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her toolbox for practical strategies to manage thoughts and behaviors.
Her background includes supporting people with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, codependency, and chronic illness or pain. She also focuses on parenting support, communication problems, and relationship concerns with Gottman-informed ideas when relevant.
Outside of counseling work she is a single mother and often speaks from the perspective of someone juggling family life and practical demands. That lived experience informs her emphasis on realistic, usable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Tara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing different responses that ease symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will work with each person to test what helps, adjust methods, and prioritize goals that matter to the client. The plan can change as needs and progress evolve, with the client guiding the pace and focus.
The practical advantages of online therapy are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Online care can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule around work or childcare, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals, including Tara, help people translate therapy tools into routines that work in real-world schedules.
