Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr., LMFT, LCMFT

Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. uses an integrated, relationship-focused approach to help people facing stress and anxiety. He draws on methods that look at how relationships and attachment shape behavior. He aims to help clients spot repeating patterns and try practical changes that matter in daily life.

He uses techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening to guide sessions. That may include practicing communication skills, role-playing family interactions, and setting small between-session tasks. Homework is part of the plan so people can try new habits outside the session.

Dr. Tullis brings 36 years of experience that include military service and federal employment. That background informs his awareness of life demands tied to both civilian and military lifestyles. He emphasizes respecting cultural differences and meeting each person where they are.

Goals are set together with the person in therapy so the focus stays on the issues they find most important. Sessions often center on understanding family roles, improving communication, and reducing emotional reactivity that feeds anxiety or stress. The overall aim is clearer choices and more satisfying daily relationships.

He holds licenses as an LMFT and an LCMFT and works from Kansas. Conversations are offered in English, and he encourages prospective clients to consider whether his approach fits their needs before scheduling.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavioral changes to lower stress and increase control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people do between-session assignments in their usual environment. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and scheduling to find an arrangement that suits everyday life.
