About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster is a NY Psychologist with 17 years of experience based in New York. She works with adolescents and adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, self-esteem, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods in therapy. Sessions are practical and focus on helping people learn skills they can use day to day. Conversations often combine exploring how past relationships shape current struggles with concrete steps to reduce symptoms and improve communication.
Meredith earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She also completed undergraduate studies in psychology at Tufts University and has experience with cognitive and projective testing plus neurobehavioral assessment with infants and children.
Her work often addresses family transitions such as divorce, remarriage and blended households, along with parent education and counseling. She also supports people coping with health concerns and chronic illness, and with substance-related issues.
In sessions she balances listening and validation with problem-solving and skills practice. Clients can expect collaborative treatment planning and an emphasis on tools from cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, attachment-focused and narrative approaches to help manage everyday challenges.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships affect current patterns. In practice this often means talking about how clients relate to others and trying small changes in how they connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behavior. It includes learning concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety or avoidance going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you'll check progress and adjust techniques if something isn't helping. The process is meant to fit the person's life as it unfolds, not lock them into a single method.
Please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not fully specified in the biography. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around school or work, require less travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or not require being on camera the whole time. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to combine talk, skills practice, and mindfulness exercises in ways that match a client's schedule and attention needs.
