Dr. Bradley (Brad) Bull, LMFT

Dr. Bradley (Brad) Bull helps people dealing with relationship strains, parenting stress, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety, and trauma and abuse. He also supports those facing problems with self-esteem, life changes, ADHD, and issues tied to sexuality or LGBT identity. The tone of sessions is practical and straightforward, aimed at making real changes in day-to-day life.

Bradley Bull holds a PhD in child and family studies with an emphasis in counseling and has practiced for 20 years as an LMFT. He frames much work through a systemic lens - looking at how family, work, and community affect a person. He learned in academic settings and in hands-on roles, including work at a student counseling center and training at Good Shepherd Counseling Center.

In sessions he focuses on clear tools and steady conversation. He uses client-centered listening to understand what matters to each person. He pairs that with methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when relevant. The aim is to find approaches that fit a person's goals and daily life.

His background includes undergraduate study in psychology and creative writing, seminary training in pastoral counseling, and early clinical experience at Norton Psychiatric Clinic. Outside of therapy he enjoys cycling, hiking, canoeing, reading, Scrabble, and refinishing furniture.

Brad brings a lived, down-to-earth perspective shaped by family and work experiences. He keeps sessions grounded and focused on manageable steps people can use between meetings.

How these approaches can work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and what they want to change. Online sessions using this approach are often conversational and let the therapist follow what matters most to the client. It can help with relationship concerns, stress, and everyday coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting CBT often includes brief between-session tasks and concrete strategies you can practice at home to reduce anxiety or depression.

EMDR is used to address post-traumatic stress and difficult memories by pairing focused attention with guided processes. When it is used remotely, the therapist and client work together to pace the steps and adapt techniques to what feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also let a person schedule around parenting, work, or school obligations while keeping a steady therapy rhythm.
