About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 014041) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD and related issues. She also helps with intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
She blends several practical approaches in sessions. That means using attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape current patterns, client-centered listening to understand what matters to the person, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and narrative elements are also used to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult stories about themselves.
Her training includes a doctorate in clinical psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Earlier studies include an undergraduate degree in psychology from Tufts University. Her background also includes assessment work and experience with blended families, divorce and parent education.
Sessions are collaborative and focus on skill-building and problem solving. She combines careful listening and validation with concrete strategies clients can practice between sessions. That mix is aimed at helping people manage symptoms and handle practical stresses that come with early adult life and family roles.
She is based in New York and works in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Poster often draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and reactions; it can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues and coping with family conflict. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals and preferences and work together to decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps shape a practical plan you can use between sessions.
The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a commute, or choose a setup that reduces background noise or bandwidth needs. Therapists often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and cognitive techniques so they work over remote sessions and in everyday routines.
