Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. uses relationship-focused and thought-oriented therapy to help people change everyday habits that get in the way of their goals. He draws on many approaches to support stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. He frames goals together with each person so therapy fits the issues they care about most.

He brings 36 years of experience working with both military and civilian populations. That background shapes his attention to how life demands affect relationships and daily routines. He aims to help people uncover long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that limit satisfaction in life.

Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps. He often teaches communication skills, models new ways of interacting, and uses role-play or between-session assignments to practice changes. Homework is presented as a key part of making progress outside the therapy hour.

His work accepts a client's immediate family relationships and social context as resources to solve problems. He uses an integrated, people-centered approach and selects theories and techniques based on the client’s goals. The focus stays on resolving the problems that matter most to each person.

Dr. Tullis holds LMFT and LCMFT credentials and works from Kansas. He encourages collaboration and steady effort so people can move toward a more meaningful and satisfying life.

How attachment, CBT, and client-centered work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns that affect closeness and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building understanding so people feel heard and can decide what changes matter most.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that suit the issues someone brings, whether relationship repair, habit change, or managing stress.
