Thomes Buchanan , LPC, LPCC

Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor with four years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio as an LPC and as an LPCC in Ohio, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She brings a calm, practical style to sessions and pays attention to each person's lived experience, especially around women's issues.

She uses straightforward conversation to help clients identify what feels most pressing. Sessions often include checking how daily habits affect mood and trying small changes that can make a difference. Thomes also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, and challenges with attention and focus.

Her approach values emotional safety and strong therapeutic connection. She draws from attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered listening to follow each person's priorities rather than a fixed script.

Practical skills are part of the work. Thomes incorporates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping tools for anxiety, mood swings, and intense emotions. These tools are practiced in session and applied between meetings.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. She often helps people with body image, parenting strain, career stress, and recovery from relationship ruptures. Her aim is to make steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion feel achievable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect today. It helps when recurring patterns in relationships cause distress or when someone wants clearer, safer ways to relate to partners and close others.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them set goals and pace the work. This approach supports people who need space to explore feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Thomes will talk with each client about needs, goals, and preferences and help choose methods that feel like a good fit. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let you read facial cues and work in real time, while phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and camera use. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, quick skill practice, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular care into work, parenting, or travel schedules.
