About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. combines relationship-centered methods with practical skills to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 36 years of clinical experience and works from Kansas. He speaks English and uses straightforward talk and structured exercises to address pressing problems.
He favors approaches that look at how attachment and communication shape daily life. Sessions often include practicing new ways to talk, role-play, and short between-session exercises to build different habits.
Homework is used regularly to help people try changes between meetings. He also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that feed worry and low mood.
Those patterns are turned into small, doable steps so the person can test new ways of coping. Motivational techniques are used when people want help finding direction or staying focused on goals.
Dr. Tullis says therapy goals are set together with each person.
He pays attention to family history, relationship patterns, and current stressors that affect day-to-day life. The work is practical and paced to what the person can manage.
People can expect calm, direct guidance and concrete tools to handle things like communication problems, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and changes in life roles. Progress is measured by real improvements in how people relate and function.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current bonds shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance in relationships and supports changes in how they connect with others.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment. The therapist listens closely and helps the person find their own answers, which can be useful for building self-worth and tackling life purpose questions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and actions that keep anxiety or low mood going. It turns those patterns into practical steps and small experiments people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for fuller conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates and reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
