About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. He brings 36 years of experience as a therapist and as a military service member and federal employee.
He works with adults on relationship, family, and intimacy concerns and on life transitions. He sees how family patterns and early attachments shape current behavior. In sessions he helps people notice repeating patterns and try new ways of relating.
Background and approach
He often teaches communication skills, models interaction, and assigns short practice tasks to use between sessions. Charles draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. He also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe their life stories and find stronger purpose.
Goals are set together, so each plan matches what a person wants to address first. His background includes work with both military and civilian populations over many years. That experience informs his practical, problem-solving style and his focus on concrete tools that people can use right away.
He values respect for different cultures and life experiences. Typical topics he works on include anxiety, depression, stress, communication problems, infidelity, blended family issues, parenting concerns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions may include role-play, homework tasks, and guided conversation to build new habits.
How attachment and CBT translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect relationships now and helps people build safer ways of relating. In online sessions this often looks like talking through past patterns, practicing new responses, and using real-time feedback to change interaction habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by identifying patterns and testing new ways of thinking. Online CBT commonly uses short exercises during sessions and homework between meetings to track progress and try new skills in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may blend attachment work with CBT or try motivational techniques when needed so the plan matches what the client wants to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and role-play, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life routines.
