How Charles works
Sessions commonly address communication problems, commitment or infidelity concerns, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues. In sessions he combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing to match each person's needs. He aims to identify long-standing patterns and then teach practical skills like improved communication and problem-solving.
Homework and between-session practice are often part of the plan. Dr. Tullis emphasizes working together to set clear goals and to use the individual's family context as a resource.
He uses role-play, communication modeling, interactive exercises, and targeted assignments to build new habits. The approach is collaborative and paced to what a person wants to achieve. People who choose him can expect straightforward, skills-oriented work that connects relationship patterns to daily choices.
He encourages clients to explore life purpose, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-worth while addressing specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, body image, or impulsivity.

Online support options
Approach-driven care available online
Dr. Tullis uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns formed early on affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and attachment wounds by naming patterns and practicing new ways of relating.He also applies Client-Centered Therapy which puts the person's perspective at the center of sessions, offering space for reflection, empathy, and setting goals at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and life situation and may combine techniques across approaches to meet specific needs.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video lets people use body language and visual cues, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text work well for short check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and sustain progress without frequent travel.
