Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr., LMFT, LCMFT

Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. brings a relationship-focused way of working to therapy. He uses an integrated, people-centered approach to help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. He draws on 36 years of experience in military and civilian settings to help people move toward clearer goals and healthier relationships.

He views a person’s family and social context as resources for solving problems. Goals are set together, and treatment is shaped around what matters most to the client. Sessions often include teaching and practicing communication skills and interactive exercises to try new ways of relating.

Between-session work is emphasized, and homework is used to build new habits and test changes outside the session. Dr. Tullis favors techniques that make patterns visible, such as role-play and family sculpting, alongside practical assignments clients can use right away.

His background spans several therapeutic models, including attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and the Gottman Method. He adapts the model to the situation rather than using one fixed method, matching tools to the client’s priorities and goals.

Dr. Tullis holds LMFT and LCMFT credentials and practices from Kansas. He brings direct experience with both civilian and military life to conversations about duty, transitions, and relationship strain. If someone is ready to look at patterns and make changes, he supports that process with steady, goal-oriented work.

How approachable methods translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and can help when trust, abandonment, or attachment concerns affect relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through relationship and life stresses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods make the most sense for their goals and situation. That decision can change over time as progress is made and needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session formats offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or make it simpler to include partners or family members who live apart. Conversations and skill-building exercises used in-person translate well to remote sessions when both people are prepared to try role-plays, communication practice, and homework assignments between meetings.
