About Thomes

Thomes Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with four years of practice. She is based in Ohio and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and related concerns such as ADHD, addiction, grief, and blended family issues.

Buchanan focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day. She listens for patterns in relationships and mood, then works with clients to try new ways of coping. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage emotions, and testing small changes between meetings.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Emotionally focused work helps when the problem centers on closeness, trust, or repeated fights.

Clients who contact her often want clear techniques as well as space to talk about painful history. Buchanan also notes additional focus areas such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems. Her work covers practical life changes like separation, blended household adjustments, and career shifts.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Thomes Buchanan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach focuses on how people form bonds, cope with separation, and react to closeness, which can be useful for relationship stress and blended household roles.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep, eating, or daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Buchanan will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can mean leaning more on emotion-focused work at times, and on skills-based CBT at others.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family life, and they can allow shorter check-ins or phone-only meetings when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Practical benefits include scheduling around school or work, avoiding travel time, and being able to keep appointments during busy weeks.
