About Thomes
Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor with experience working across Ohio and other states. She brings four years of clinical practice as an LPC and LPCC to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and direct.
She listens first, then helps people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions often include practical tools for coping and clearer ways to communicate with others.
Background and approach
Thomes uses approaches that fit the person rather than a single method. She draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
People come to her for many life challenges such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, ADHD, and parenting stress. She also supports issues around intimacy, body image, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice is attentive to cultural and gender-related experiences, with particular awareness of women's journeys and young adult transitions.
Therapy sessions can include skill coaching, emotion-focused conversations, and planning concrete next steps. Thomes accepts international clients and meets people in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule sessions once matched.
How Thomes Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect today. In short sessions she helps clients notice patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance and then tries small changes to build safer emotional connections.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Thomes uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression with clear exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Thomes talks with each person about goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and then suggests ways to blend methods. This is a collaborative decision so clients can try techniques and adjust what isn’t working.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick coaching, brief check-ins, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy days and different time zones.
