About Jannine

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life changes. Jannine works with issues tied to parenting, career decisions, grief, addiction, and women's issues, and she offers straightforward, practical support.

Her sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses clear conversation and goal-focused steps so clients can try things between meetings. Jannine draws on Client-Centered ideas to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and present-moment skills.

With experience across many relationship and life concerns, she helps people address communication problems, divorce and separation, infertility and fertility stress, infidelity and jealousy, and first responder issues. She also supports those working on money worries, life purpose, and self-love. Jannine adapts her approach as people change, aiming for practical progress rather than one-size-fits-all methods.

Clients can expect a warm, direct, and collaborative style. Sessions include talking through problems, practicing new skills, and setting achievable steps. She balances empathy with clear guidance so people can make steady changes.

Jannine is based in New York and holds the credential LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Sessions are offered in English across video, phone, live chat, and text messaging formats.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Jannine often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace, which helps when someone needs space to talk about relationships, family strain, or personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From there she adjusts methods as progress happens so the plan stays relevant and workable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people talk face-to-face when they can, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text work well for quick check-ins or when typing feels clearer. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit appointments into busy days.
