    The paper aims to develop a numerical method for finding stationary solutions to the two-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation in cases when the discrete potential, included into the equation, is subject to a particular discrete symmetry (such as that corresponding to hexagonal structures, which is relevant for the application to the light propagation in nonlinear photonic-crystal fibers). A particular objective is to incorporate the corresponding symmetry principle into the numerical methods used for finding the stationary solutions. In fact, this is the self-consistency method. An efficient implementation of this modified method is demonstrated, along with particular results. The advantage of the method is that it restricts the necessary numerical computations to a relevant section of the entire potentially available domain. A part of the method is selecting the initial seed for the numerical iterative procedure that obeys the underlying symmetry, which improves the convergence of the initial guess to the stationary solution sought for.
