Stana Self, LPC

Stana Self is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those facing major life changes and moments that shake motivation or confidence. Her approach emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people ready to change their daily lives.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying manageable strategies to reduce distress. Conversations are direct but compassionate, aimed at small, achievable shifts that add up over time.

With five years of professional experience, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on issues like attachment wounds, caregiver stress, communication problems, and difficulty forgiving oneself. She also helps people who struggle with control issues, impulsivity, guilt, jealousy, and feelings of emptiness.

Her work often centers on practical tools for coping after divorce or separation, handling the emotional impact of disasters, and finding renewed purpose during a midlife crisis. Clients leave sessions with clear ideas to practice between meetings and ways to notice progress.

How evidence-based methods can work online

Stana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work and to help clients get clear, practical steps they can use between sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and replacing it with more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps with stress, worry, and motivation problems by teaching simple, repeatable skills.

Another approach centers on emotion awareness and regulation skills. It teaches ways to notice strong feelings, slow them down, and choose actions that match long-term goals rather than short-term impulses. That work is useful for anger, impulsivity, and difficulties with control or intense mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what feels helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy consistent with a client's everyday life and responsibilities.
