About Thomes
Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Ohio. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She works with people who want practical skills and clearer thinking about their feelings and relationships.
She uses straightforward, person-centered conversation to understand what matters most to each client. Sessions aim to clarify patterns that cause pain and to build small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Thomes pays attention to how attachment and past wounds shape current behavior and choices. Her background includes work with mood concerns such as bipolar symptoms and disruptive mood dysregulation, as well as addiction and grief. She also supports people with ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, and those coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.
These topics often overlap, and she helps clients untangle what is most important to address first. Thomes draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on emotionally focused ideas to open up difficult conversations. She also uses dialectical skills for managing strong emotions and attachment-based ideas to rebuild trust and connection with oneself and others.
In sessions she is attentive and direct, offering tools clients can use between meetings. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client set goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans as needed. Practical homework and skill practice are common parts of the process.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical care
Thomes often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase stress and anger. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior change.She also works from an attachment-based perspective to notice how early relationships shape current responses to conflict and closeness. This approach helps people understand why certain relationship patterns repeat and supports rebuilding more supported ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Thomes will talk with each client about goals and try strategies together to see what fits. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant to daily life and the issues the client brings up.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different needs. Video lets most of the conversational work happen in real time, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and use the communication method that feels most comfortable.
