Thomes Buchanan, LPC, LPCC

Thomes Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with four years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and self-esteem. She also addresses ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and stress-related problems.

Buchanan uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that maintain problems and to test different ways of responding. Sessions also include attachment-based ideas about relationships and client-centered listening to find what matters most to the person in front of her.

She often helps with practical problems like sleep disruption, eating concerns, anger, and coping with life changes. When someone is facing career stress, parenting strain, or chronic illness, she works on concrete steps to reduce daily overwhelm. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, body image, and communication problems.

Buchanan pays attention to history that affects current choices, including abandonment and attachment issues. She uses DBT-informed skills when emotions become intense, focusing on grounding and regulation techniques. She combines these methods without relying on jargon so people can try them between sessions.

Her style emphasizes clear goals and small experiments. Clients set targets, practice new skills, and track what changes. This practical approach helps people see what works faster and adjust when needed.
