About Meredith

Dr. Meredith Poster offers care for adolescents, adults, and families seeking practical skills and thoughtful exploration to manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, grief, addiction, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on collaborative work, she helps clients build concrete strategies alongside reflective insight so they can navigate difficult emotions and daily demands more effectively. Trained as a clinical psychologist, Dr.

Poster earned her doctorate from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and holds NY Psychologist 014041. Over 17 years of practice she has blended evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered, mindfulness, narrative, and psychodynamic perspectives.

That blend supports both skills training and deeper understanding of patterns that maintain distress. She often focuses on issues common to families and blended households, including divorce and remarriage dynamics, parenting and fatherhood issues, and family-of-origin concerns, while also addressing eating and sleep problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, trauma, and substance-related struggles.

Dr. Poster aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere and partners with clients to develop individualized plans that balance validation with practical problem solving.

Combining practical skills and relational insight in online care

Dr. Poster uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn actionable strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her understanding of relational patterns and helps people explore how early and current relationship dynamics influence intimacy, communication, and family interactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; she works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative exploration may include trying skill-based tools, reflective narrative work, or mindfulness practices and then adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Dr. Poster can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access therapy from different locations within New York while working with a licensed professional.
