Thomes Buchanan, LPC, LPCC

Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor who works from Ohio. She brings four years of clinical experience and focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship and self-esteem concerns. Her approach aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier in daily life.

She uses clear, collaborative methods that break larger problems into manageable steps. Thomes draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present feelings.

Sessions are held in a straightforward, person-centered way. That means Thomes listens closely, follows each person’s pace, and adapts techniques to fit individual needs. She emphasizes small, real-world changes clients can practice between meetings.

Thomes works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction-related issues, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life transitions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image, and commitment or communication difficulties.

People who prefer practical tools, clear explanations, and a steady, empathetic presence may find her style helpful. Thomes frames therapy as a team effort focused on building coping skills, improving relationships, and creating realistic plans for change.

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Thomes commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related patterns. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences affect current feelings and closeness in relationships, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thomes will listen to goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. She frames treatment as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques based on what is helping most in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people practice skills in real time and work through interpersonal material. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit care into work, school, or caregiving schedules while using approaches that match their goals.
