Jannine Cullen-Reo, LMFT

Jannine Cullen-Reo is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with stress and relationship strain. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a key tool while tailoring sessions to each person's needs. Her style is warm and direct and aimed at helping people make clear, manageable changes.

She brings 18 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Jannine helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports those struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, divorce and separation, fertility concerns, and communication problems.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and problem solving as much as on understanding feelings. Jannine often blends client-centered listening with mindfulness exercises and solution-focused steps to build momentum. She aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting and adjusts methods as clients change.

Many people come for help with parenting stress, career questions, money worries, or life-purpose work. Jannine also addresses first responder issues, infidelity, jealousy, and women’s issues when relevant. She works with people on self-esteem, self-love, and coaching-style goals in addition to clinical concerns.

Therapy is offered in English and is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jannine uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

How CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Translate Online

Jannine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT sessions often include clear goals, practical exercises to try between sessions, and step-by-step skill building for issues like panic, depression, or sleep problems.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes listening and understanding. That approach helps people feel heard and clarifies personal values and goals. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to teach breathing, grounding, and attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust approaches over time as needs change. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that feel useful and sustainable.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and other commitments.
