Yes, family therapists work with individuals. In fact, most of the work I have done has been with individuals. It helps to hear “family therapy” as “systemic therapy.” Systemic therapists focus on how “big picture” factors (family, work, society) influence us and, thus, how we have to cope with them.
My training has been both academic and from “the school of hard knocks.” In 2005, at age 40, I completed my PhD in child at family studies with an emphasis in counseling at the University Tennessee. I was taking a heavy course load, working two part-time jobs, and raising two young children. I consider my time as client at the student counseling center the most important part of my training. I completed my family therapy training at Good Shepherd Counseling Center under one of the earliest family therapists in Tennessee. I started by training as an undergraduate psychology major (and creative writing minor) at Carson-Newman University. I then went to seminary where I majored in pastoral counseling and worked as an aide at internationally known Norton Psychiatric Clinic.
People describe me as down to earth. I grew up the son of teachers and grandson of farmers. I have baled hay, fed cattle, and spent a summer pulling steel from a 1500-degree furnace and driving a fork lift. I also was captain of my high school soccer team. If I’m not working, I’m riding my bike, watching a movie, reading a book, playing scrabble, hiking, canoeing, or refinishing furniture.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Bull is a great listener. He comes from a background in seminary, but is able to step outside of that perspective to understand the full picture, which was super helpful for me, having a Christian background but not exactly being a Christian. I recommend him to anybody who is dealing with substance abuse problems or dealing with childhood traumas. 10/10
Fantastic!!! I highly recommend Dr. Bull.
Dr. Bull has literally help me to see different viewpoints of what I’m going through/experiencing. He has provided me with exercises that help me understand my feelings and practices that helps me feel better. He has been a great help!!
Dr. Bull is a very skilled clinician. If you are clear about what you want from therapy he will provide that 100% he is a very good listener and even though we have only been see each other for a month now I’ve already noticed improvements
Dr. Bull helped me to find hope during a very dark time. He helped me to see things in a better perspective and how to not let the negativity in my mind impact my life, resulting in a healthier and happier outlook on life.
He is easy to talk with
Great listener! Keeps me focused and helps calm my storms.
He’s just a great listener and really helps my morale and overall ability to combat issues
Dr. Bull offered few solutions, but they were very impactful. He's a great listener! He listened to me most of the time, and he only responded when he deemed it necessary! In life sometimes, all you need is someone to hear your side of the story and respond with empathy. A counselor cannot fix the problem, but in most cases, they can offer solutions to make sure it doesn't happen again.
