Thomes Buchanan, LPC, LPCC

Thomes Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. Thomes aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and find realistic ways to feel better.

Before meeting a client, she listens for each person’s priorities and life context. Sessions are shaped to match those goals rather than following a single fixed plan. Thomes uses approaches that emphasize emotional connection and practical tools so people can notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

She often works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and grief, ADHD, addictions, and struggles with intimacy or body image. Thomes also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career changes, chronic illness, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Her work includes attention to attachment issues, abandonment, and blended family challenges.

Therapeutic methods include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and strategies drawn from dialectical behavior and emotionally-focused approaches. These methods are used to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors, process strong feelings, and build new coping skills.

Sessions are offered in English and she practices from Ohio. International clients may be accepted. To begin, prospective clients follow the start process on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Thomes Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Thomes draws on attachment-based work to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how earlier connections shape present reactions. This approach focuses on building safer emotional contact and clearer communication with others.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s experience and priorities. In these sessions the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps the person find their own solutions.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are part of her toolkit too. Those methods look at thoughts and behaviors, and introduce practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Thomes will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and check in as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use spoken or exercise-based tools from a familiar setting, while the therapist helps tailor methods like CBT or attachment work to remote sessions.
