About Staci

Staci Somes is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Idaho who welcomes people seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She brings a compassionate, respectful approach and focuses on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Her work has included helping clients navigate divorce and betrayal trauma, and she guides people through changes that affect self-esteem, parenting, addiction, and coping with life transitions. Using a collaborative, client-centered stance, Staci emphasizes sensitivity and empowerment as clients take steps toward greater wellbeing.

She integrates evidence-informed tools to address patterns that contribute to distress and to build practical skills for daily life. With four years of professional experience and the LPC credential, she aims to create an environment where clients can explore attachment questions, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and challenges such as infidelity or narcissistic dynamics.

Staci adapts support to each person’s circumstances, whether exploring post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, blended family dynamics, or cultivating self-love. Her approach balances empathic listening with structured strategies so clients can work toward realistic, meaningful change at their own pace.

Accessible Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It offers structured tools to address anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strains by teaching practical skills for changing thoughts and actions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to express themselves and lead the pace of change. This approach is helpful for people seeking validation, self-exploration, and support while working through attachment issues, self-esteem, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Staci works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors the process over time so therapy remains responsive and useful.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home. These options provide flexibility in communication style and timing, allowing clients to choose the format that best supports their comfort and consistency in care.
