Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr., LMFT, LCMFT

Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings 36 years of experience to his counseling work. He offers respect for people from varied backgrounds and understands pressures that come from both military and civilian life. He aims to help people identify patterns that limit them and find clearer ways forward.

He uses an integrated, people-centered approach that matches methods to each person's goals. Sessions often include teaching and practicing communication skills, role-play, and homework between meetings. Those practical tasks are presented as tools to help apply new habits in daily life.

The therapist considers a client's immediate family relationships and wider social context as useful resources when solving problems. Goals are set together, and the focus stays on the issues deemed most important by the client. He notes that past events can't be changed, but understanding them can reduce their impact on current choices.

Dr. Tullis often draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive approaches alongside methods for couples and family patterns. He emphasizes collaborative assessment to decide which combination of methods will best help each person reach their goals.

He has worked with both service and civilian populations and has experience addressing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, depression, ADHD, and identity matters. People who want clear, structured steps and practical assignments may find his approach helpful.

How his therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust in relationships. It helps people understand how early bonds affect current relationships and can guide changes in how someone relates to partners and family.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping people find their own answers rather than directing them toward a single solution.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It provides practical steps and homework to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is evaluated.

Confirm available session options before booking, as the biography did not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep therapy consistent during life changes. It also supports shorter check-ins or phone conversations when full video sessions are not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt communication and homework to work well in remote sessions, helping clients apply skills between meetings.
