About Thomes
Thomes Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with four years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship patterns, self-esteem, and stress.
She uses accessible, emotion-focused ways of working that help people name and track difficult feelings. Sessions often involve noticing patterns in close relationships and learning small behavior changes that make daily life easier. Thomes draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to explore how emotions and connection shape problems.
Her background includes methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. That means conversations aim to be practical and respectful of each person’s perspective, with time spent on thoughts, behaviors, and skills when those are helpful. She also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation skills are needed.
Thomes pays attention to life transitions and identity concerns. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, chronic illness or caregiving stress, and issues around intimacy and commitment. She lists work with ADHD, addictions, and body image among her areas of focus.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that drive relationship patterns. In practice this means noticing moments of distress, naming the feeling, and gently working toward different responses to connection problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses; it helps people recognize recurring habits and try new, healthier ways of relating. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to emphasize. That process may include trying emotion-focused work, adding skills from cognitive behavioral methods, or using DBT strategies for managing strong emotions. The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays, caregiving schedules, or travel plans. Others choose a shorter check-in when time is limited or opt for camera-off sessions when less visual demand is helpful. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and tailor session length and pacing to fit daily life while focusing on emotion, attachment, and useful skills.Areas of expertise
