I have been doing sessions with Stelina for 3 months and she helped me be more positive and understand my feelings. I noticed a big difference in how I deal with issues. I used to have high levels of anxiety every day, but now it has been weeks of feeling more calm even if I had problems in my life. Stelina made me realize why I react in certain ways and how to change my mindset.

About Me
Welcome! My name is Stelina Doko, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. With a Bachelor's degree in Counseling and Coaching and currently pursuing a Master's in Advanced Psychotherapy, I have dedicated my career to supporting clients in their journey towards healing and self-discovery.
My Experience
Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients, each with unique stories and experiences. My work has spanned various areas, including trauma, depression, anxiety, family issues, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. This experience has equipped me with the skills and understanding needed to provide empathetic and effective support to those seeking help.
My Education
Bachelor's Degree in Counseling and Coaching
Currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Advanced Psychotherapy
My academic background has provided a solid foundation in the principles of counselling and psychotherapy. The advanced coursework in my Master's program is deepening my knowledge and enhancing my ability to offer evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
My Treatment Approach
As an integrative therapist, I utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each client’s unique needs. My approach is holistic and client-centred, drawing from the following therapeutic frameworks:
Person-Centred Therapy: Creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where clients can express themselves freely and explore their feelings and thoughts.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours to improve their emotional well-being.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring the unconscious mind and understanding how past experiences influence current behaviour and emotions, aiming for deep-seated change.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Concentrating on clients' strengths and resources to develop practical strategies for achieving specific goals and resolving present challenges.
By integrating these approaches, I can adapt to the evolving needs of my clients, ensuring each session is both relevant and effective. My aim is to empower clients, focusing on their strengths and resilience to promote self-efficacy and well-being.
How I Can Help in Therapy
My role as a therapist is to guide and support you through your journey of self-exploration and healing. Here’s how I can assist you:
Trauma: Helping you process and heal from past traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Depression and Anxiety: Providing tools and strategies to manage symptoms and improve your mental health.
Family Issues: Assisting in resolving conflicts and improving communication within your family dynamics.
Life Transitions: Supporting you through significant changes in your life, helping you to adapt and thrive.
Self-Esteem: Working with you to build confidence and develop a positive self-image.
I am committed to being a compassionate partner in your journey, helping you uncover your inner strengths and achieve lasting change. Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or seeking personal growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have done therapy with Stelina almost 3 months. I was struggling with a lot of things and couldn't even understand my emotions or thoughts. After working with her I feel like I am closer to myself. She is kind, empathetic and non judgmental and asks questions that help me understand myself and my environment better. Her approach is gentle and curious. I often think about our sessions after they are over and figure out later how speaking to her helped me navigate my week better. She is very professional, I struggle a lot in opening up to people but with her it was not so difficult. I will highly recommend working with her.
We had only 2 sessions so far, but I am enjoying the professionality of Stelina. Looking to book more
