About Stana
Stana Self is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice is geared toward adults who want clearer ways to manage strong feelings and day-to-day strain.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. Stana works to create an open environment where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions include checking what triggers tough reactions and finding habits that reduce reactivity over time.
Stana often begins by helping clients notice patterns - where anger and anxiety start, and how they affect behavior and relationships. She teaches simple skills people can use between sessions to calm down, think more clearly, and make different choices when stressed. She also focuses on building confidence and motivation so people can follow through on changes they want to make.
When life changes pile up, she helps clients sort priorities and cope with losses or new roles. Work on issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress appears in her caseload. She also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.
Stana combines practical tools with steady discussion of what every client values. She encourages small, measurable steps and supports troubleshooting when plans collide with real life. To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches and how online sessions are handled
Stana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill building. Cognitive strategies help people spot unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety and anger, and replace them with clearer thinking. Behavioral techniques target patterns in daily life, such as avoidance or impulsive reactions, and introduce small experiments to change those habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to test methods, review what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and personal preferences. The therapist aims to match tools to the client rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, reduce time spent traveling, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the exact session options offered so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
