About Bradley
LMFT in Tennessee with 20 years of experience, Dr. Bradley (Brad) Bull helps people with relationship and family concerns, parenting, intimacy, depression, anxiety, trauma, and related issues. He uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and the Gottman Method. Brad writes plainly and focuses on practical change. He trained academically and through long clinical experience, and he works with individuals who are navigating family- and relationship-related problems.
Brad describes systemic or family therapy as attention to how family, work, and society shape a person’s difficulties. He brings that viewpoint into individual work, looking at patterns that link back to family of origin, communication habits, and life roles. Sessions often look at what changes in interaction might reduce conflict and improve connection.
He combines academic training with lived experience. Brad completed a PhD in child and family studies with an emphasis in counseling at the University of Tennessee in 2005. Earlier studies included undergraduate psychology and creative writing, plus seminary training in pastoral counseling and clinical work at a student counseling center and a psychiatric clinic.
His family therapy training took place at Good Shepherd Counseling Center under an early Tennessee family therapist. That background supports work on divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. He also addresses men’s issues, midlife concerns, life purpose, and young adult issues.
Outside clinical work he lists hands-on life experience - farm and industrial jobs, coaching soccer - and simple pastimes like biking, hiking, reading, and furniture refinishing. That combination informs a down-to-earth, practical style in sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects concerns and priorities to help a person clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises. Online sessions can assign short, concrete tasks to try between meetings and then review results together.EMDR addresses trauma through structured techniques that process painful memories. When used online the therapist guides the protocol step by step and checks in on reactions so the work proceeds at a manageable pace. Brad treats the choice of method as collaborative; he will discuss options and recommend what seems most useful for the person’s goals and tolerance for different approaches.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will work with the client to schedule sessions that match their life, preferences, and therapy goals.
