About Stana
Stana Self helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. Stana works to make difficult feelings easier to talk about and to find practical steps forward.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. Conversations are direct but warm. The aim is to identify small changes that reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time.
How Stana works
Stana has five years of professional experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. That experience has included helping people manage mood-related struggles and get back to daily routines that feel manageable. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work.
In sessions she pays attention to how past relationship patterns and attachment wounds affect current reactions. She also helps people understand anger, impulsivity, and guilt so they can respond differently in stressful moments. Practical tools and coping plans are a common part of the work.
Her style is collaborative. She listens first, then partners with each person to set clear, realistic goals. People can expect direct feedback, emotion-focused conversation, and step-by-step strategies for coping and recovery.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Stana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and practical change. One approach emphasizes learning skills to lower anxiety and manage stress through short exercises and behavior changes. This helps when panic, worry, or constant tension get in the way of daily life.Another approach centers on talking through emotions and relationship patterns to reduce anger, shame, or feelings of emptiness. It helps people spot old patterns that keep repeating and try new ways of responding in the moment.
Choosing the right way to work is a team decision. The therapist will help identify which approach or combination fits a person's goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions can fit into busy schedules and different life situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well when movement or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for short check-ins, daily tracking, or when a person prefers typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside work, caregiving, or other commitments.
