About Jannine
Jannine Cullen-Reo is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, sleep difficulties, and other life disruptions. Her approach feels warm and direct, aimed at helping clients make concrete changes that improve day-to-day life.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Mindfulness techniques help ground people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Her background includes work with many concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem struggles, eating issues, parenting challenges, and intimacy or infidelity problems. She has also supported people through career shifts, financial stress, fertility questions, divorce and separation, and first responder issues. Sleep and rest are among the areas she lists when addressing daily functioning and coping.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on real outcomes. Jannine adjusts methods as clients change, combining approaches when that best suits the moment. She emphasizes practical steps clients can take between sessions.
Jannine practices in New York and provides services in English. She holds the LMFT credential and brings nearly two decades of experience to her work. To begin, readers can use the platform Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jannine commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways that adapt well to an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping you set goals that matter to you. It helps with feelings of overwhelm, relationship concerns, and building self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to test new outcomes; it tends to help with anxiety, mood problems, sleep patterns, and habits that interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using more skills practice and homework for someone wanting symptom relief, or a gentler, exploratory pace for people who need time to feel safe opening up.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also let clients try different ways of working - more skills practice, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused check-ins - to see what helps most in daily routines.
