About Stana
Stana Self is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those going through major life changes and moments of low motivation. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood.
Her sessions aim to be open and nonjudgmental. She encourages clients to talk through what matters and to try small, practical steps between meetings.
Background and approach
The focus is on building confidence, managing strong emotions like anger, and finding ways to cope when life feels unstable. Stana brings five years of professional experience to her work. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and create workable plans.
Sessions often mix problem-solving, emotion regulation, and goal setting depending on what a person needs most. People working with her can expect a supportive presence that emphasizes empowerment. She helps clients recognize patterns that cause distress and practice new responses.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Stana welcomes straightforward questions about goals and next steps. She supports clients as they build skills for handling stress, managing anger, and improving self-worth.
Short-term goals and longer-term growth are both part of her approach.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Stana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing strong emotions and building coping skills. One common approach involves emotion regulation strategies that teach people how to notice triggers, pause, and choose a different response when anger or anxiety flares. These skills help with stress, impulsivity, and mood challenges.Another frequent focus is cognitive-behavioral style work that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more balanced ways of thinking. That approach pairs well with short practical exercises to try between sessions, which supports progress on self-esteem and motivation concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what works for the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges, phone sessions use less data and can fit into a work break, live chat gives a real-time but typed option, and text messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing reminders. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping work focused on practical skills and emotional change.
