Stana Self, LPC

Stana Self is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers support for those coping with life changes and works alongside clients to build motivation and confidence. Stana aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgment.

She uses straightforward conversation and listening to help clients name what is most troubling them. Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying patterns, trying small changes, and tracking what works. Stana encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice progress between meetings.

Her experience includes five years of professional practice in counseling. That time has included work with people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. She also supports clients facing divorce or separation and those wrestling with guilt, shame, or feelings of emptiness.

Stana addresses issues such as control problems, impulsivity, jealousy, life purpose questions, midlife transitions, and mood disorders. She tailors the pace and focus to each person’s needs, helping them build coping skills they can use day to day. The counselor frames change as gradual and collaborative.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the counselor’s LPC practice in Oklahoma. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Stana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to help people handle stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce worry and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building small, concrete coping skills - breathing, activity scheduling, and problem-solving - to manage anger and overwhelm day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so the focus stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find virtual sessions helpful because they can fit a session into a busy day, avoid travel, or use a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it easier to practice coping skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into the conversation for immediate troubleshooting.
