About Thomes
Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor with LPC and LPCC credentials and four years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Thomes aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and learn practical ways to cope.
She brings a client-centered stance that respects each person's background and life story. Sessions often begin with identifying immediate concerns and simple steps to reduce distress.
Background and approach
Thomes uses clear, actionable tools so people can notice small improvements quickly and build from there. Her work also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. This can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries, or repetitive relationship cycles.
She pairs insight about relational patterns with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Thomes also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness skills. These tools support coping during intense moments and help people stay connected to their goals.
Parents looking for practical parenting support can find ways to handle sleep, eating, and daily routine challenges. People describe sessions as straightforward and focused on usable change. Thomes works with adults on issues including addiction, grief, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She offers help for LGBTQ concerns and for those navigating chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Thomes commonly uses attachment-based ideas to help clients see how past bonds shape current relationships, which can make it easier to change repeating patterns. She also uses client-centered methods that put the client's goals and experience at the center of each session, allowing people to set the pace and focus. Cognitive behavioral therapy is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Thomes works collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and personal style. She may start with one way of working and introduce other techniques if they fit the client's progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that feels helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text options make it easier to check in during a busy day or keep a brief therapeutic thread between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into work, family life, or travel while keeping consistent support.
