About Charles
Dr. Charles Tullis, Jr. uses attachment-based ideas alongside practical therapy methods to help people understand their relationships and emotions. He brings 36 years of experience to sessions and focuses on clear, usable skills.
He aims to help clients reduce stress, manage anxiety, and improve connection and intimacy. He also addresses depression, parenting challenges, ADHD symptoms, and issues common in blended families. He favors a people-centered style that starts with what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning communication skills, role-play exercises, and between-session assignments to practice new behaviors. Homework is framed as a tool to make changes outside the therapy room rather than extra work. Dr.
Tullis combines Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. He also uses elements from the Gottman Method and motivational interviewing when relevant. Treatment plans are built from assessment, then adjusted as goals become clearer.
His background includes military service and federal work across civilian and military settings. That history informs his practical focus on solving everyday relationship and family problems. He emphasizes respect for cultural differences and for each person’s life context.
Dr. Tullis holds the credentials LMFT and LCMFT and practices in Kansas. He works with people who want to resolve conflict, rebuild trust, or find more purpose in their lives.
The approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.

Online support
Attachment and Skills-Focused Therapy Online
Dr. Tullis blends Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more trust and closeness. Client-centered methods emphasize the person’s own priorities and feelings, giving space for clients to steer goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will assess what feels most relevant and will adjust methods as goals change. Sessions are collaborative and designed so the client can try new ways of relating between meetings and report back on what works.
Online therapy here offers options to fit busy lives: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing reflections or brief support. These formats let clients fit therapy into work breaks, manage lower bandwidth situations, or use a shorter check-in without needing a camera. Licensed professionals tailor the format to the client’s needs and the work at hand.
