About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. centers his practice on cognitive behavioral therapy while integrating relational and client-focused methods to address a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
With 36 years of clinical experience, he blends CBT with attachment-based and client-centered techniques to help clients examine patterns of thought and interaction that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and intimacy challenges. His approach emphasizes practical skill-building alongside exploration of family dynamics and life goals.
Dr. Tullis draws on extensive training in family systems and narrative approaches, and uses structured interventions such as communication instruction, role-play, and between-session assignments to support change.
He views family relationships and social context as important resources, and collaborates with clients to set therapy goals that reflect their priorities. Licensed as an LMFT and LCMFT, he practices from Kansas and offers services that include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and schedules.
Combining evidence-based approaches with online flexibility
Dr. Tullis commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach often applied to anxiety, stress, depression, and coping with life changes. He also integrates attachment-based therapy to explore how early relational patterns shape current intimacy and family dynamics, which can be useful for addressing attachment, abandonment, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist consults with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and the challenges they want to address, and then tailors interventions from CBT, attachment work, or client-centered strategies to fit those needs. This collaborative stance helps determine what methods and homework will best support progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to practice skills, review between-session assignments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical, while supporting access from a range of locations within his practice area.
