About Thomes

Thomes Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with four years of clinical experience based in Ohio. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and self-esteem. Sessions also address ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and career or life-change concerns.

Buchanan focuses on practical skills people can start using right away. She helps clients talk through relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns. The work often includes learning ways to manage stress, improve sleep and eating patterns, and handle frustration without escalating.

Her background includes multiple clinical approaches that guide how she structures sessions. Buchanan uses strategies from cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused work to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions.

In the room she follows a client-centered stance, listening first and adjusting the pace to what a person needs. That means practical problem solving alongside attention to feelings and relationship patterns. People can expect to practice concrete tools for coping, communication, and regulating strong feelings such as anger.

How sessions work

How her approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong feelings and how to respond differently in close relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anger tied to automatic thoughts, workplace stress, or repetitive worry because it gives concrete steps to change what you do and think.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These skills are practical when anger comes with impulsive reactions or when someone needs tools to stay calm during hard conversations.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a CBT skill for several sessions, then adding DBT techniques or attachment work depending on progress.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around job hours, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in real-life contexts and bring immediate situations into conversation without promising any particular service.
