Thomes Buchanan, LPC, LPCC

Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Ohio. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. Her work also includes attention to ADHD, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes.

She centers sessions on each person's story and current needs. Thomes takes a culturally aware stance and pays attention to how gender and life stage shape what a person is facing. She creates a calm setting where people can talk through painful experiences and try new ways of handling difficulty.

In practical terms she helps people build skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and better sleep and eating patterns when those areas are affected. She also supports people working through attachment worries, abandonment concerns, and caregiving stress. Sessions include checking what works, practicing small changes, and tracking progress over time.

Thomes blends therapy styles to fit the person rather than forcing a single method. She draws on client-centered listening alongside cognitive approaches and emotion-focused work. This mix is used to address mood, relational patterns, and day-to-day coping.

People often come for help with life transitions like separation, parenting strain, or chronic illness impact. Thomes also works with concerns around identity and intimacy, including LGBT-related stress. Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and more manageable ways to cope.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those early patterns shape current connections. It helps when trust, abandonment worries, or repeating relationship problems cause distress.

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens with curiosity, reflects back what is heard, and supports the client in finding their own solutions and strengths. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and gaining direction during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thomes will discuss how different methods might help and will adapt techniques to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients help set priorities and try methods that feel useful.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter times or avoid camera use if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals aim to match approach and format so therapy fits into daily life.
