About Thomes
Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor with experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices from Ohio. Her work aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people seeking change.
She uses a compassionate, direct style in sessions. Conversations focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. She listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and paced to the client's needs. Buchanan blends approaches such as attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address relationship patterns and daily habits. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered methods when they fit a person's goals.
This mix helps with mood, attention, and interaction struggles people commonly bring to therapy. Clients can expect help sorting through ongoing worries, problems at work, trouble sleeping, or persistent low mood. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, identity concerns, and addictive behaviors.
The focus is on building skills that translate into everyday life. Her sessions include discussion, skill practice, and planning for real-world changes. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins and adjustments to the plan.
People who want clear steps and a collaborative guide often find this approach useful.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of connection shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people notice repeated interaction patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce stress and improve closeness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. Clients learn concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with attention and routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans over time. Decisions are made together so the approach matches what the client wants and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief support, skill reminders, and flexibility between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
