About Thomes

Thomes Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with four years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and works with young adults and other adults facing common pressures of early adulthood and beyond. Her stated focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

Buchanan uses a mix of approaches that match the needs of each person. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing mood swings, and building practical skills for day-to-day life. She also addresses ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and body image.

Her work pays attention to attachment and relationships. That includes helping people notice patterns that affect how they relate to others and supporting new ways of connecting. She also supports clients dealing with family problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiving strain.

Buchanan offers client-centered and evidence-informed strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical approaches. She uses emotionally-focused methods when relationships or closeness are central concerns. The goal is to develop useful coping skills and clearer goals for the next steps.

Practical matters are part of sessions too. People can expect straightforward conversations about work, schooling, money stress, and identity questions common in the 18–30 life stage. To begin, readers should follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people recognize how early bonding and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can be useful for relationship stress and intimacy concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and build routines for mood, sleep, and focus. These techniques are often practical for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means checking in and adjusting techniques as progress or obstacles emerge.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed, and they remove travel time so therapy can fit into a busy week.
