About Thomes
Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor and clinical counselor (LPC, LPCC) who brings four years of clinical experience to her practice in Ohio.
Background and approach
She works with people facing a broad set of concerns, from depression, anxiety, and stress to relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her training includes cognitive behavioral approaches alongside attachment-informed and client-centered work, which she weaves together to meet individual needs.
Buchanan emphasizes a respectful, culturally aware stance that honors diverse life experiences and personal histories. She pays particular attention to patterns of attachment, communication problems, and self-esteem struggles while also addressing more specific challenges such as body image, chronic illness, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress.
Her goal is to help clients develop practical skills, stronger self-understanding, and clearer strategies for coping with life changes and relationship difficulties. Therapy with Buchanan typically focuses on collaboration - identifying goals, trying structured techniques like CBT when useful, and exploring emotional patterns that affect daily life.
She accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online
Thomes Buchanan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavioral changes; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on present patterns and skills. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections, which can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and recurring relational pain. Buchanan's client-centered stance prioritizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for each person to set the pace and goals of therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try structured CBT exercises, explore attachment patterns, or blend methods over time to respond to what is most helpful for progress.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize convenience and accessibility. These formats allow clients to work on skills, process emotions, and practice communication strategies from locations that suit their daily life, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
