Jannine Cullen-Reo , LMFT

Jannine Cullen-Reo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience based in New York. She has worked with individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and entire family systems, supporting people through a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy challenges, infidelity, fertility-related stress, parenting and co-parenting difficulties, communication problems, career transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem struggles, anger, and life changes related to divorce or separation.

She describes her counseling style as warm, direct, collaborative, empowering, and transformative. Her practice draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Solution-Focused strategies, and family therapy techniques. Rather than applying a single model to every situation, she uses an eclectic approach and adapts interventions session by session to match each person or family's evolving needs.

Jannine emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process - tailoring goals and techniques to what will be most helpful for the individual or couple. She accepts new clients and offers flexible formats for working together, aiming to help clients create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jannine Cullen-Reo integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values, feelings, and goals - useful for building self-understanding, confidence, and relational repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies - helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

She also uses Solution-Focused techniques that concentrate on strengths and immediate steps toward change, which can be especially effective when clients want clear, goal-oriented progress. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Jannine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or another convenient location, allowing therapy to fit more naturally into daily life.
