About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. is a LMFT and LCMFT with 36 years of clinical experience. He practices in Kansas and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, parenting, anger, depression, and related issues.
He takes a people-oriented approach and says family relationships and social context are important resources for solving problems. Goals are set together with the client, and therapy aims to address the issues clients name as most important. He describes using an integrated mix of theories and techniques chosen to fit each situation.
In sessions he uses instruction and modeling of communication skills, interactive processes, role-play, and family sculpting when relevant. He expects clients to complete between-session assignments and homework to get the most from work in therapy. That practical focus is meant to change patterns and perceptions that limit daily functioning.
Charles draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches among others. He also notes experience with family systems, Bowenian concepts, solution-focused work, and object relations ideas as part of his toolkit.
His background includes military service and federal employment, and he reports experience with both civilian and military demands. He works with people from diverse social backgrounds and affirms multicultural respect in his practice. Prospective clients who want to begin will be asked to set goals and agree on the approaches that match those goals.
He maintains credentials as LMFT and LCMFT and practices from a problem-solving, relationship-focused stance. Sessions emphasize practical skills, clearer communication, and steps clients can use between meetings to make steady progress.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using attachment ideas often look at patterns of closeness, trust, and distance, and help people practice different responses in day-to-day interactions.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's perspective. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what the client says, and follows the client's lead to clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces specific skills and experiments to change them.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time if something is not helping. That shared decision-making helps match techniques to the problem, whether it is anger, relationship stress, or coping with life change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let clients practice new skills in the settings where they live and work. Therapists and licensed professionals can discuss which session rhythm and format best support the client's goals.
