About Staci
Staci Somes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Idaho who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can start making changes. Staci focuses on concerns like relationship strain, depression, addiction, parenting stress, and intimacy-related problems.
She often works with people coping with trauma, including betrayal and divorce, and addresses attachment and blended family issues. Staci uses dialog and practical tools to help people manage symptoms and make decisions that fit their lives.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, doable steps toward relief. Her style blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix lets Staci match gentle support with concrete strategies for thinking and behavior.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Over four years of practice, Staci has developed an approach that balances empathy with actionable work. She encourages forgiveness and self-love while addressing guilt, shame, and the fallout from infidelity or narcissistic behavior.
People who want straightforward guidance and emotional support may find her approach useful. Staci invites clients to describe what matters most to them and works with those goals. She helps people build coping skills for life changes, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and recovery from post-traumatic stress.
The focus is on helping people feel more capable and in charge of their next steps.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and builds the relationship needed to try new ways of coping. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, useful for overwhelming feelings and intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face dialogue for skill practice, phone calls can be a shorter check-in without video, and chat or messaging can support people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to keep regular work on stress, anxiety, relationships, and recovery while managing daily demands.
