Background and approach
He also addresses ADHD, coping with life changes, and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. Phobias and other anxiety-related problems are included among the concerns he supports. His style centers on collaboration.
He and the client set clear goals together and choose techniques that fit those goals. Expect direct skill teaching, communication exercises, role practice, and short assignments to try between sessions. Dr.
Tullis draws on attachment-based ideas to address connection and trust. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. He also applies client-centered listening and parts of the Gottman Method to strengthen couple communication when that is relevant.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on practical change. The work is aimed at reducing distress, improving relationships, and helping people find clearer direction. Dr.
Tullis emphasizes regular homework because applying tools between sessions helps speed progress.
Online approaches for relationships and anxiety
Dr. Tullis commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques when working online. Attachment-based work focuses on how connection and trust affect feelings and behavior and can help when relationship patterns leave someone feeling distant or unsafe. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression.The choice of approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then select or combine approaches that seem likely to help. That process may change over time as progress is tracked and needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to have in-depth conversations and use visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when a written record of work is helpful. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work from different locations.
