Dr. Bradley (Brad) Bull, LMFT

Dr. Bradley (Brad) Bull helps people facing stress and anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and major life changes. He is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience. He often works with individuals who are dealing with mood concerns, trauma, sexual identity questions, or questions about purpose and identity.

Brad writes plainly and listens closely. Sessions tend to focus on everyday problems and practical steps clients can try between meetings. He draws on methods that encourage clearer thinking, stronger communication, and relief from overwhelming memories or emotions.

He trained in family and child studies and completed a PhD in child and family studies with an emphasis in counseling at the University of Tennessee. His background includes early family therapy training at Good Shepherd Counseling Center and time at a student counseling center that shaped his approach to helping others.

Brad brings both academic study and real-world life experience to his work. He grew up in a farming family, worked many kinds of jobs, and raised children while completing advanced degrees. Those experiences inform how he talks about daily stress, work pressures, and midlife shifts.

In sessions he blends down-to-earth conversation with tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and approaches for processing trauma. He aims to help people build clearer communication, manage anxiety, and find steps forward they can actually use.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It emphasizes empathy and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for dealing with stress, identity questions, and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers clear strategies and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

EMDR is a method used to process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold. It can help people who are coping with trauma symptoms or intense reactions to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Choices are revisited as progress is made so the plan fits what actually helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around work or childcare, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed therapists can use these options to help integrate therapy into everyday life without asking you to rearrange everything.
