About Jannine
Jannine Cullen-Reo draws on client-centered work to create a steady, respectful space for people who are feeling overwhelmed. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience.
Background and approach
Her approach is direct and compassionate, written for people who want clear, practical steps and real change. She focuses on everyday stresses that build up over time.
That includes anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and issues with self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, communication problems, and challenges that come with parenting or separation.
Her sessions often combine straightforward talk with skill-building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns and try new behaviors.
Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track progress. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help calm racing thoughts and settle the body.
The work is collaborative - the therapist and client pick what to try next based on what is working. Jannine has supported people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and life changes such as fertility struggles or career transitions.
She also addresses topics like money stress, jealousy, and finding life purpose. Her style aims to empower clients so they can take steps between sessions and see tangible shifts.
Sessions are offered from New York and conducted in English. Jannine uses a flexible mix of methods to match each person's goals and pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. Online sessions center on the client's priorities, with the therapist reflecting concerns and helping people name what matters most. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life purpose work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT often includes homework between meetings and clear steps to test new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and eating concerns.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a shared process. During early sessions she will talk through goals and preferences, then choose and adjust methods together. That collaborative stance means plans change as progress happens and new needs emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text messaging work for quick questions, ongoing support, or tracking steps between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, rhythms, and comfort levels.
