Thomes Buchanan

Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor who brings four years of clinical experience to her work in Ohio. She uses a person-centered stance and practical strategies to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Her style is calm and direct, and she focuses on clear goals clients can try between sessions.

She listens for how attachment patterns, self-worth, and past losses shape current struggles. Thomes blends client-centered work with cognitive and emotion-focused methods so people can notice unhelpful thoughts, name painful feelings, and practice different ways of relating. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotional regulation and coping during intense moments.

Thomes has worked with concerns including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sexual and intimacy issues, and challenges tied to caregiving, chronic illness, and disability. She supports people dealing with relationship stress, communication problems, parenting strain, and career transitions. Her approach recognizes identity and cultural background as part of each person’s story.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, skill building, and homework that fits everyday life. Thomes explains techniques in simple language and helps people choose steps they can actually use.

People who want focused, respectful counseling that combines insight with hands-on tools may find this approach helpful. To start, the process asks for a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step so therapy can begin around each person’s life rhythms.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current bonds and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect, repair ruptures, and build more trusting ways of relating to others.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own solutions and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches concrete techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Thomes will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape a plan together. This collaborative process makes it easier to try methods that fit the client’s life and values.

Session format options are not specified here, so confirm the available ways to meet before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some methods, like CBT skills practice, translate well to remote sessions and can be supported with worksheets and between-session tasks.
