Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's pace.

He also supports people in recovery who want ongoing, preventative maintenance for their wellbeing. Dr. Bullock holds an MD and lists Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, among his credentials.
He practices in Virginia and draws on three decades of counseling experience when helping clients set realistic goals. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, not just talking. He works with each person to create an individualized plan and checks in on progress.

Online support
Practical approaches for online counseling and change
Dr. Bullock often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors so clients see concrete shifts in mood and daily routines. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation at a pace that feels doable.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual rapport. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and maintain regular contact while working toward goals.
