About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) with 36 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy and parenting issues, and related struggles such as depression, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also lists ADHD and family of origin issues among his focuses.
He draws on a mix of approaches to help people identify long-standing patterns that affect current life. He looks at immediate family relationships and wider social context as resources to address problems. Therapy goals are set together with the client, and he adjusts methods based on what the initial assessment suggests will help most.
Typical techniques include communication skills instruction, role-playing, interactive processes, and between-session assignments. Homework is an expected part of the work to help apply what is discussed in sessions. He names narrative and solution-focused ideas among the models he uses, and also applies cognitive and client-centered elements.
His background includes long service in both military and federal roles, which he says contributed to experience with the demands of military and civilian life. That history informs his practical approach to problem solving and relationship work. He emphasizes collaboration and concrete work on the issues clients identify as most important.
People who come for help can expect a therapist who selects theories and interventions responsively and who aims to organize relationships so resources can be applied to presenting problems.
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of connection shape current relationships. Online sessions using this lens focus on recognition of those patterns and practicing new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities; the therapist offers reflective listening and support while clients guide what feels most important to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; online sessions can include practical exercises and between-session homework to build different habits.Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is reviewed over the first few meetings and adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. It also makes it simpler to complete homework assignments and to practice communication skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to continue the same kinds of therapeutic conversation and exercises they would use in person, adapted to each client’s circumstances.
