Jannine Cullen-Reo

Jannine Cullen-Reo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience in New York. She brings a warm, straightforward style and focuses on practical change for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach centers on listening closely and working with each person to set concrete goals.

She uses techniques drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to blend supportive listening with actionable steps so people can try new ways of handling conflict, mood, or habits between meetings. Jannine adapts methods as a person progresses, changing emphasis when something needs a different approach.

Her background includes many years helping people navigate grief, trauma and abuse, substance concerns, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy and infidelity issues, and major life transitions like divorce or career change. She also addresses communication problems, fertility stress, first responder issues, money worries, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Jannine frames therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages people to bring immediate problems and long-term goals. In sessions she is direct yet supportive, helping clients build skills and test new behaviors. Her goal is steady, practical improvement rather than quick fixes.

People meet with her to work on anger, depression, coping with change, parenting challenges, and relationship repair. She offers care in English and practices in New York.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance where the person sets the pace and goals; this helps when someone needs time to talk through relationships, parenting stress, or anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors in everyday life; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often supports work on stress, grief, and coping skills.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative step in therapy. The therapist and client will look at current needs, goals, and preferences and decide which methods to emphasize. Plans can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities appear.

The original biography 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, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the places where problems happen, then bring those experiences back to session for review.
