About Charles

Background and approach
He emphasizes homework as part of progress and checks in about how it’s going. Dr. Tullis accepts the influence of family systems and broader social context when working through problems.
He helps people identify longstanding behavior patterns and negative views that get in the way of closer relationships or personal satisfaction. That work often includes talking through attachment and trust issues, blended family concerns, and fatherhood roles. He also addresses specific concerns such as intimacy and sexual issues, infidelity, anger, impulsivity, depression, and coping with life changes.
People who want help with career and life purpose, commitment worries, or recovery from separation and divorce will find focused problem-solving and support. Dr. Tullis holds the LMFT and LCMFT credentials and practices in Kansas.
He brings extensive experience from military and civilian settings and aims to help people discover more effective ways of relating and living.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people form bonds and handle closeness. It helps when trust, abandonment, or attachment issues affect parenting or intimate relationships by looking at patterns and creating new interaction habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety, depression, or anger, and then practice more helpful responses through concrete exercises and short homework tasks. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and to guide their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match styles and tools to your situation instead of using a single method for everyone.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for role-playing and teaching communication skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, progress notes, or homework support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people use the format that fits their day-to-day life.
