About Jannine
Jannine Cullen-Reo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience. She uses a warm, direct, and collaborative style to help people facing parenting stress, relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and solution-oriented, focused on small changes that make daily life easier.
Jannine draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's goals and values. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment. Sessions are shaped around the parent's real concerns, whether that's sleeping and eating problems, communication breakdowns, or the strain of infertility and fertility-related stress. She also addresses intimacy, infidelity, anger, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties in straightforward language and steps.
Jannine works with people navigating divorce, co-parenting, or separation and supports those sorting out career or financial stress. Her background includes nearly two decades helping clients recover from trauma, abuse, and loss. She adapts methods as clients progress, shifting between short-term solution work and deeper cognitive or mindfulness practices when needed.
This flexible approach aims to match technique to the problem at hand. Jannine practices in New York and offers sessions in English. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
If someone is ready to begin, they can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How therapeutic approaches work online for parents
Jannine commonly uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship. This approach focuses on listening closely to a parent's goals and values so therapy follows what matters most to them. It helps with parenting stress, communication problems, and relationship challenges.She also integrates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to develop new habits for anxiety, sleep or eating struggles, and coping with anger or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jannine will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on brief solution-focused steps, CBT skills, or ongoing client-centered support.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone calls work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick progress notes, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family routines.
