How Bradley works
He blends a focus on the person in front of him with attention to how family and larger systems shape behavior and choices. Brad completed a PhD in child and family studies with an emphasis in counseling at the University of Tennessee and has worked in both academic and community settings.
His early training included family therapy at Good Shepherd Counseling Center and experience in student counseling, pastoral counseling, and psychiatric clinic support work. He holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT. Sessions often include talking about patterns of interaction, practicing new communication skills, and using evidence-informed tools to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.
For trauma, he may incorporate approaches that focus on processing painful memories and building coping skills. He aims to make therapy a down-to-earth, problem-solving space. Outside of work he enjoys biking, hiking, canoeing, reading, and refinishing furniture.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Bull often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's experience and to create a respectful, listening space where people can talk through what matters most. This approach aims to help people feel understood and to find their own solutions for relationship, parenting, and identity concerns.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress and includes practical exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may combine approaches as appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, working through specific exercises, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
