No way, counterspell can't counter itself directly since you need a valid target spell on the stack to aim it at. So if you cast Counterspell, there needs to be another spell already on the stack for it to target. The only way Counterspell could 'counter itself' is if you're using multiple spells in response to each other. Like, you cast Counterspell targeting your opponent's spell, and they respond with their own Counterspell targeting yours.
Totally can't. Tried it in a game thinking I was being clever, but learned the hard way. You need something else on the stack to target.
