About Staci
Staci Somes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or struggles with intimacy. Staci aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can take small steps toward change.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs, focusing often on issues related to divorce, betrayal, and relationship wounds. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Staci helps people identify patterns, set goals, and find tools that fit their daily life.
How Staci works
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy are available to build emotional regulation and coping skills.
With four years of professional experience, Staci brings both focus and warmth to the work. She guides people through painful past events while also helping them cope with current pressures like parenting, work stress, or life transitions. The emphasis is on realistic steps that people can practice between sessions.
People who want clear communication and a supportive partner in therapy often find this style helpful. Staci invites clients to set the pace and voice what matters most, then crafts a plan that fits their goals and daily realities.

How different approaches are used online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens carefully and helps the person set priorities and plan next steps, which can be useful for relationship or life transition issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and homework to change patterns linked to anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills can help when strong emotions, shame, or relationship pain get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting methods as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed; live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent when schedules are tight or travel is required.
