Jannine Cullen-Reo

Jannine Cullen-Reo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York with 18 years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, straightforward approach that aims to help people make practical changes in their daily lives. Jannine often focuses on issues that affect relationships and personal wellbeing, including stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, and women's issues.

Her work blends different therapies so sessions match each person's needs. She commonly uses client-centered methods that follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused tools to set concrete goals. Mindfulness practices are added when calming the body and mind is useful.

Jannine has spent nearly two decades working across a broad range of concerns. She helps people facing grief, addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting pressures, and career changes. She also supports those coping with infertility, divorce or separation, and the stress that comes from money or life-purpose questions.

In sessions, she aims to be collaborative and direct. Conversations tend to focus on small, realistic steps that build toward bigger change. She adjusts methods as people progress so the work stays practical and relevant.

People come for help with communication problems, jealousy or infidelity, self-esteem and self-love, and first responder issues among other concerns. Jannine emphasizes respect for each person’s journey and works to create manageable plans for growth.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns back, clarifies what matters most, and helps set goals that feel relevant. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to decide next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions look at patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful relationship habits and then try small behavioral experiments or thought-challenging exercises to test change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time so the work stays useful as needs shift.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity when life makes in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online, and this therapist adapts exercises and mindfulness practices for virtual sessions to keep progress practical and manageable.
