About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster is a clinical psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting worries, relationship problems, grief, and the fallout from major life changes. She works with adolescents and adults who are trying to find steadiness after loss, trauma, breakup, or when day-to-day life feels overwhelming. Dr. Poster aims to make therapy clear and practical so clients can use skills right away.
Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to a person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also weaves in mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and tell a more useful story about their lives.
Dr. Poster earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and she has about 17 years of clinical experience. Her background includes work with blended families, divorce and separation, parent education, and health-related issues. Her training also covered assessment techniques used with children and adolescents.
In sessions she balances warmth and validation with clear problem-solving. She helps clients set realistic goals and practices small, manageable steps toward change. Therapy is a collaborative process where the plan is shaped by each person's goals and daily realities.
She is based in New York and works in English. For people recovering from major incidents, she lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas and can help with practical coping strategies and emotional processing.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns that began in early life. Online sessions use conversations to notice how current relationships echo those patterns and to try new ways of relating. This approach can help with intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin issues.Client-centered therapy centers the client's goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name their priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs steady support while making concrete changes in parenting, communication, or self-care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new behaviors between meetings. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to fit a person's goals, preferences, and life situation. That collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and doable.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity of care while managing family, work, and recovery from major events such as natural or human-caused disasters.
