About Stana
Stana Self is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also helps individuals coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging for someone taking their first step toward change.
Stana focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are aimed at helping clients name what feels hard, find small steps forward, and build confidence in everyday choices. She emphasizes practical conversation and steady support rather than overwhelming theory.
With five years of professional experience, Stana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She listens for patterns like attachment or control issues and works with clients to reduce impulsivity, jealousy, shame, or persistent guilt. Stana also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness that sometimes follow separation or divorce.
People who meet with Stana typically work on setting manageable goals, improving emotional regulation, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. She encourages trying different approaches until a good fit is found. The focus stays on day-to-day relief as well as making longer term changes when the client is ready.
To start, Stana asks people to describe what they want to change most. From there she and the client plan realistic steps and check progress together. Her work aims to empower clients to make steady, sustainable changes in their lives.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques Stana uses focus on clear communication and small, behavior-based steps. One common approach is problem-focused work that breaks down big stressors into manageable tasks and practices; this helps with anxiety, anger, and day-to-day overwhelm. Another typical method is mood-focused coaching that helps people track how thoughts and actions affect their feelings and then try new responses to shift low mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust those methods based on what works in real life.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or caregiving and fewer travel demands. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or regular weekly appointments that fit into a busy day.
