Dr. Meredith Poster

Dr. Meredith Poster is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 014041) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma, addictions, grief, and problems with sleep, eating, attention, or self-esteem. Her background also includes work on blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and fatherhood concerns.

She trained in clinical psychology and completed her doctorate at The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, part of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in New York. Her early training included cognitive behavioral methods, psychodynamic approaches, assessment techniques, and neurobehavioral assessment with children. That foundation informs how she understands life transitions and relational problems.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, mindfulness, narrative work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She aims to help people build practical skills, clarify values, and address patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations include both emotion-focused reflection and concrete problem-solving.

Dr. Poster often helps people dealing with divorce, remarriage, blended family arrangements, and parenting education. She also supports those facing health or chronic illness challenges and people working through loss or trauma. Her ways of working combine listening and validation with structured strategies to manage symptoms and daily stresses.

People who want to explore life purpose, career shifts, or what comes next after a major change may find her approach useful. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How Dr. Poster’s approaches translate to online work

Dr. Poster commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, and cognitive behavioral techniques in her sessions. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and help people understand the ways early and current bonds shape how they relate to others. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflection so clients can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioral techniques break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach concrete skills to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process helps match problem-solving tools, reflective conversation, and skills practice to what matters most to the client.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of working with a therapist remotely is fitting sessions more easily into a busy week, such as shorter check-ins between commitments or avoiding travel time. Video sessions can allow face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and may be simpler when a quick conversation is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote meetings so people can work on stress, relationships, and life changes without rearranging their entire day.
