About Jannine
Jannine Cullen-Reo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as parenting, intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, and self-esteem. Jannine also addresses practical life problems like career decisions, financial stress, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. That can mean talking through patterns in relationships, identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them, or trying short exercises to reduce worry and improve sleep. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Mindfulness techniques, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions around what someone needs that week.
Clients who come with parenting strain or difficulty managing home life can expect focused conversations about communication and small changes to try between meetings. When relationship trust or intimacy is strained, she helps people name behaviors and take specific steps to rebuild connection. For fertility, separation, or infidelity concerns she works on coping strategies and next steps rather than offering quick fixes.
Sessions are collaborative and adjust as progress is made. Jannine notes that therapy methods are not one-size-fits-all, so plans are revised as a person’s situation changes. Her approach combines practical skills with attention to feelings and patterns.
She practices in New York and conducts work in English. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online pathway described below.
How sessions work
How Jannine uses therapy approaches online
Jannine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered approaches in her work. CBT helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or mood problems and then practice different responses. Client-Centered work focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around the individual's priorities and experiences.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and relaxation practices that reduce rumination and improve sleep. These techniques can be brief and practical to use between meetings. Together she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made; figuring out the right approach is treated as a collaborative process.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. In practice, that can mean scheduling therapy during a break from work, trying a shorter session to match a difficult week, or using audio rather than video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt these practical arrangements to help therapy fit everyday life.
