About Stana
Stana Self is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem difficulties, depression, and challenges tied to life changes. Stana lists guilt and shame among the issues she helps people address.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions often include talking through what feels overwhelming, naming unhelpful patterns, and practicing small changes that can feel manageable day to day. She aims to help people understand how past experiences and current pressures shape their feelings.
Her work also covers relationship-related struggles such as communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, jealousy, and control issues. She supports people navigating divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Midlife questions, life purpose, and feeling empty are other areas she addresses.
Stana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions rather than a fixed script. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so progress can be noticed in concrete ways. Sessions include discussing tools a person can use between meetings.
People who come for help can expect direct, practical conversation about what they are feeling and why. She asks questions, listens to how guilt or shame shows up, and works with clients to test small shifts. The aim is to reduce how much painful feelings interfere with daily life, not to rush forgiveness or make promises about outcomes.
How Stana uses evidence-based techniques in online sessions
Stana works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. One common approach is cognitive-based work that helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts tied to guilt and shame, and tries alternative ways of thinking that reduce distress. Another commonly used approach involves behavioral strategies - setting small experiments or actions to break patterns of avoidance or anger and to practice new responses in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, gather information about your goals, and adjust methods based on what feels practical and helpful. This is a collaborative process so the chosen approach can change as needs and priorities shift. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time so therapy fits around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help therapy be more consistent with everyday life.Areas of expertise
