About Jannine

Jannine Cullen-Reo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of practice based in New York. She offers a warm, direct, and collaborative style aimed at helping people make meaningful changes in their lives. Her approach centers on listening closely and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs.

Over nearly two decades she has helped people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses issues like addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, and coping with life transitions. Additional focuses include communication struggles, divorce and separation, fertility concerns, infidelity, and money or career stress.

In sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods, using mindfulness strategies when helpful. That means she pays attention to what matters most to the client and then works together to try out small, useful changes. The pace and techniques shift as clients begin to make progress.

Jannine describes her work as empowering and transformative, and she aims to meet each person where they are. People can expect a therapist who is engaged, straightforward, and ready to adjust methods as needs evolve.

She provides therapy in English from her New York practice and holds the credential LMFT. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule sessions.

How client-centered and practical approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding to each person's concerns with warmth and respect. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through feelings about relationships, self-esteem, parenting, grief, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences, and will adapt those methods as progress is made. This collaborative process makes it easier to try different strategies and see what helps over time.

Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible meetings when needed. It also makes it possible to continue care during work breaks, travel, or other schedule changes without moving an appointment.
