About Thomes

Thomes Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and parenting concerns. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and works with clients in Ohio. Her direct, practical style aims to make therapy feel usable for everyday life.

Buchanan focuses on common struggles like depression, low self-esteem, grief, addiction, and attention difficulties. She also addresses issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

The approach is straightforward: notice what is happening now, name patterns, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Her training includes methods that look at emotions, thoughts, and attachment patterns. Sessions often mix talking with concrete skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work.

Clients can expect help with communication problems, commitment or control issues, and blended family stress. With four years of clinical experience, Buchanan draws on several therapeutic styles to match each person’s needs. She brings attention to how relationships and past bonds shape current reactions.

That helps when dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or family problems. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Buchanan asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How attachment and skills work translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape how people relate today. Online sessions using this approach focus on noticing patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with small, practical steps. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort with online formats. That means discussing what feels most helpful and adjusting methods over time rather than committing to a single style up front.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Sessions can be done by video call for face-to-face conversation, by phone for those who prefer voice only, or through live chat and text messaging for shorter check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule around work, parenting, or travel while keeping therapeutic continuity.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
