About me
With over a decade of professional experience in Illinois, I possess a comprehensive range of skills in assisting clients with trauma and abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and bipolar disorder. My expertise extends to working with couples to rebuild trust, enhance communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy. I am particularly adept at addressing couples who have experienced a sense of “loss within themselves.”
My practice hours are Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and on Friday, I am available from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I generally respond to messages at least once in the morning and once in the evening, and may respond more frequently. You can also schedule a live session with me in advance.

Seeking a more fulfilling and fulfilling life requires courage and the willingness to take the initial steps towards change. I am committed to providing support and empowerment throughout your journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Thomas Buckner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Thomas Buckner is an amazing therapist . During the past 7-8 months I’ve found him to be very professional, knowledgeable, and caring person. It was very easy to open up to him. He is very resourceful and I highly recommend him. He has helped my family tremendously. It is a blessing to have met him. He is amazing .
He has been patient so far. We have only had two sessions but so far we are doing well.
My fiance and I recently started therapy with Mr. Buckner. Mr. Buckner is a very good listener and excellent explaining information to us. He always prompt and on time, ready to address current situations. I look forward to this healing, and healthy journey.
Great therapist and easy to work with very understanding
Thomas or doc as I refer to him has been a God send its been about a year that we have been working with. him and his insight and help is invaluable
Connecting effortlessly with someone just minutes after being introduced is truly special, especially over a video call. Thomas possesses this rare talent. More importantly, his skills as a therapist become apparent right from the start, not merely his engaging personality. This combination instills confidence when you’re taking the leap of faith to discuss personal growth with a stranger. I’m deeply grateful for the platform that facilitated my connection with Thomas, a consummate professional. Thank you to both Regain and Thomas for creating a safe space to engage in difficult conversations.
Thomas is a good listener and offers great feedback.
Thomas Buckner is full of wisdom, warmth, and understanding. His thoughtful presence during our sessions makes my experience with Regain well worth it.
My husband and I have really been able to reevaluate the way that we speak to one another through our sessions. It has been great to have guidance and time to reflect. We have received some great worksheets as supplemental work as well.
Thomas is very engaged and checks in almost daily to give a positive message. Always willing to listen and give suggestions on how to react or what do to. Truly enjoy talking with him and working through my hardship.
Great listener and makes me think outside the box
The greatest therapist we have come across with. We really enjoyed our sessions.
Thomas was great for men and woman. He put everything into perspective and helped me and my wife’s communication and understanding. We communicate ten times better without struggling to understand each other.
My therapy sessions have been a very good experience. I’m well satisfied with my counselor.
Tom Buckner is an enjoyable and knowledgeable counselor. You should your time together as you journey through your issues and concerns.
