About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) with 36 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, depression, intimacy concerns, parenting, ADHD, and related issues. He also lists work on topics such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment problems, and life-purpose questions.
He draws on several approaches to guide sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused methods, client-centered work, the Gottman Method, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and learning practical skills. Homework and between-session practice are a regular part of the process.
His background includes military service and federal employment, so he is familiar with both civilian and military lifestyle demands. He values looking at family relationships and the larger social context as resources for solving problems. Goals are set together with the person seeking help, and the therapist selects methods based on the issues at hand.
In session he may teach and model communication skills, use interactive exercises, role-play family interactions, and assign tasks to practice between meetings. The work often looks at long-standing behaviors or negative perceptions that keep people stuck. The aim is to help clients move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Tullis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down patterns of thought and behavior into practical steps. CBT helps people test new responses to anxiety, depression, and stress by using short experiments and homework assignments.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Attachment-focused work is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns because it highlights how people respond to closeness and separation. Client-Centered Therapy is another strand of his approach; it emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can better understand their own choices and goals.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process may include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep up with homework and apply new skills between meetings.
