About Meredith

Dr. Meredith Poster is a New York Psychologist (NY Psychologist 014041) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and families on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach blends straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative work, and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions focus on learning practical skills as well as examining patterns that keep old problems in place.

Dr. Poster trained in clinical psychology and completed her doctorate at The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her background includes assessment skills and experience with cognitive and developmental testing methods used with younger clients.

She has a particular practice history helping people navigate divorce, remarriage, and blended family challenges. She also supports those dealing with chronic health concerns and caregiver stress, and she addresses issues such as codependency, substance use, eating and sleep problems, and commitment or avoidance patterns.

In sessions she combines active listening with practical problem-solving. Conversations may include mindfulness exercises, reframing thoughts, and tracing relationship patterns. The work balances understanding where problems come from and building skills to handle them differently.

Dr. Poster works from New York and conducts therapy in English. Prospective clients are invited to follow the site's process to learn about specific session options and to schedule an initial meeting.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when guilt or shame is tied to closeness, trust, or fear of rejection. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what shows up in sessions, helping people make sense of their feelings and decide what matters to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and experiments, which can be useful for anxiety, rumination, and behavior patterns that feed shame.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means combining listening with practical skills and adjusting over time if something is not helping.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by cutting travel time and letting people join from different locations. Some formats need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and others allow more extended conversation with in-session exercises. The therapist and client will discuss what practical arrangement best suits the client's schedule and needs.
