Call or text (330) 201-0157, day and evening appointments

A counselor of nearly thirty years, and the front page of his website still says Under Construction.

Dan Stavnezer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Wooster, Ohio, working with adults. The words Under Construction are sitting on the front page of his live website right now, the site loads without a padlock so browsers flag it as not secure, and it does not resize for a phone, which is where nearly everyone looking for a therapist starts. This page is not his site. It is a demonstration of what a finished one would look like. To reach the real practice, call or text (330) 201-0157. If you are in crisis right now, call or text 988.

What he works with

Eighteen areas listed on his own services page, grouped six ways.

Everything below is drawn from the list on woostertherapist.com/services.html, which is his own list in his own order. The groupings and the descriptions underneath are ours, written to show what a readable services section looks like, and none of it is a description of treatment or a promise about outcome. That is a conversation with him. One thing worth repeating from his own page, he does not take legal or court related referrals for anger issues. Call or text (330) 201-0157. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

Anxiety and Panic

Anxiety issues and disorders, and panic disorder, are both named on his services list. People usually arrive at this one after a long stretch of managing it alone and deciding it is not getting smaller. Worth saying on the first call roughly how long it has been going on and whether anything has changed recently, because that is the sort of thing that shapes a first session.

Depression and Mood

Depression and mood disorders appear on his list, alongside self esteem issues. His own writing describes helping clients make healthy choices for change and develop abilities to create happiness and peace, which is his wording rather than ours. If any of this is heavy right now, do not wait on a website. Call or text 988, any time, day or night.

Life Changes and Burnout

Adjustment, life changes and transitions, and job and career burnout are all named. This is the category people talk themselves out of calling about, on the grounds that nothing is technically wrong. A move, a job ending, a child leaving, a parent needing care. It is on his list because it is real work.

Adult ADHD and Decision Making

Adult ADHD is on his services list, and so are decision making skills. His homepage asks directly whether it is a challenge to focus, be organized and avoid impulses, which is his wording. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or an assessment. It is a list of what he says he works with, and the next step is a conversation.

Communication, Assertiveness and Relationships

Effective communication, assertiveness training, boundary setting skills and managing relationships are four separate entries on his list, and family of origin issues and adult children of alcoholics sit alongside them. The line he puts on his own services page is that we teach other people how to treat us. Anger issues are on the list too, with no legal or court related referrals.

Insurance and Getting Started

His contact page lists Aetna, Anthem BC/BS, GEHA, GPA, Lyra Health, Medical Mutual of Ohio, Meritain, Mutual Health Services, OSU, United Behavioral Health and UMR. That is a genuinely useful list and it is buried at the bottom of a page nobody reaches. Plans change, so ring your own insurer as well as him, and ask him what he needs from you before a first session.

Finished work

There is no photograph of him, of the office, or of the building anywhere on his site.

Choosing a therapist is close to the most personal decision a person makes online, and it is made almost entirely on a feeling about whether this is somebody you could sit in a room with. His site gives you no room, no face and no door. Every image below is stock, standing in for what a real set would do. It does not need to be much. The front of the building, the waiting area, the chairs, and one photograph of him. Call or text (330) 201-0157 to ask about an appointment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

How it works

How to actually get a first appointment.

Call or text (330) 201-0157

His own site says to call or text him directly, and it is the same number on every page. There is no contact form anywhere on the site and no online booking, so the phone is the whole route in. Texting is genuinely on offer here, which matters, because for a lot of people the phone call is the exact obstacle that keeps them from starting.

Or email him, the address is on his contact page

danstavnezertherapyllc@gmail.com is published on his own contact page and on his homepage. Email is the slowest of the three and it is also the easiest one to send at eleven at night when you have finally decided to do something about it. Say what you are looking for and what times of day tend to work.

Say what you want to work on and when you can come

It does not need to be well organized or well said. A sentence is enough. His site says day and evening hours are available, so say whether you need after work, and say whether you have been to counseling before. If any of this feels urgent rather than important, call or text 988 first and get the appointment sorted afterward.

Ask about insurance and what a session costs

His contact page lists eleven plans he works with. No fee, no session length and no sliding scale information is published anywhere, so ask him directly, and ring the number on the back of your insurance card as well, because coverage changes and the person who knows is your plan. Ask what happens if you need to cancel.

About us

This is a demonstration page and it is not medical advice. Here is what is actually wrong with his site.

None of this is a comment on his work. It is a comment on the website, and the list is specific. The site is built on Homestead SiteBuilder and served over plain http with no certificate, which means modern browsers put a not secure warning in the address bar before a word of his writing is read. It has no viewport tag at all, so a phone renders it at desktop width and a person has to pinch and drag through a paragraph about whether they need help. The words Under Construction are sitting live on the homepage next to the skills list. A RealTracker hit counter script from another era is still running on the page. The layout is held together with spacer GIFs. There is no contact form anywhere and no online booking, only a phone number and a Gmail address. And the addresses do not agree with each other. The homepage and the top of the contact page say 111 S. Buckeye Street, Suite 240. The bottom of the contact page and the footer of the about page say Suite 250. The footers of the services and resources pages say 558 N. Market Street, Suite A, which appears to be an older office. That is three addresses on one small site, which is exactly the kind of split that pulls a local business down in map results and, far worse here, means somebody anxious enough to be looking for a counselor at all has to work out which door to walk through. He is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Ohio number E0008036, with a bachelor's from Allegheny College in 1993 and a master's in counseling psychology from the University of Connecticut in 1997, plus advanced training in gestalt and body centered therapy at the Hartford Family Institute and cognitive therapy at the Cleveland Center for Cognitive Therapy. That is a serious record sitting behind a page that says Under Construction. Call or text (330) 201-0157. If you are in crisis right now, call or text 988.

These hours are his own words rather than a guess. His site says day and evening hours available, please call or text me directly at 330-201-0157 for an appointment, and it repeats on the contact page that day and evening sessions are available. What it never does is name a single actual time, so nobody knows whether evening means six or nine, or whether Saturday exists at all. Publishing real windows is the cheapest fix on this page and it would stop a lot of people deciding on their own that he probably cannot see them. One thing that matters more than hours. This is a demonstration page and nobody is monitoring it. If you are in crisis, thinking about hurting yourself, or you just need somebody now rather than at an appointment, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any hour of any day. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Here is the honest version, because it matters for somebody trying to find the door. His homepage and the top of his contact page say Suite 240. The bottom of that same contact page, and the footer of his about page, say Suite 250. The footers of his services and resources pages give a different building entirely, 558 N. Market Street, Suite A, which looks like a previous office that was never cleared out of the template. Three addresses on one small site. Confirm the suite number when you call or text (330) 201-0157, and confirm it again the day before your first appointment.

A sentence is enough. What you would like to work on, whether you have been to counseling before, and what times of day tend to be possible for you. Calling or texting (330) 201-0157 is still the fastest route, and this form is here for the people who would rather type it out at eleven at night than say it out loud to a stranger in the morning.

Please read this bit. This is a demonstration page and not medical advice, and nobody is watching this form, so it is a working example rather than a live inbox. Do not use it to say anything urgent. If you are in crisis, thinking about hurting yourself, or you need somebody right now, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is free, it is available every hour of every day, and you do not need to be in an emergency to use it. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. To reach Dan himself, call or text (330) 201-0157 or email the address on his contact page.
