About Staci
Staci Somes is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people coping with trauma, intimacy questions, and major life changes. Staci writes plans with each person to match their needs and goals.
Staci uses clear, conversational talk to help people name what is happening and decide what to try next. She pays attention to how attachment, blended family situations, and past betrayals affect daily life.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses divorce and separation, infidelity, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. Clients can expect a respectful and nonjudgmental approach that emphasizes personal strengths. Staci draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience and DBT skills to build emotional stability.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and test new ways of coping. Over four years of practice in Idaho have given her experience supporting people through pregnancy and childbirth stress, addiction concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and self-love. She also helps with forgiveness, guilt, and shame work when those themes come up.
Staci aims to empower people to make changes at a realistic pace. She offers multiple online session formats so conversations can fit into busy schedules. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to shape the initial plan.

How therapy approaches adapt to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first by listening and responding to what matters most. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects your concerns, and helps you shape goals that fit your life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and makes small experiments to test new behaviors. Online CBT can include homework, thought logs, and brief skills practice between sessions to track what changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills translate well to video or phone sessions and can be practiced in short text check-ins as needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read expressions and share screen materials. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and work schedules while keeping the focus on steady, useful progress.
