Dr. Meredith Poster is a clinical psychologist based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical skills people can use day to day. Her approach aims to help clients feel more capable and better able to handle life’s demands.

Dr. Poster draws on 17 years of experience and a mix of approaches. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises. Narrative and attachment ideas also inform her work, especially when relationship patterns and family history matter.

Her training includes a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University. Earlier, she completed an undergraduate degree in psychology at Tufts University. Her background also includes training in testing and neurobehavioral assessment techniques with children.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space and works together with clients to set clear goals. Practical problem-solving is paired with validation and empathic listening. She often teaches concrete skills to improve coping, mood, sleep, and relationships.

Dr. Poster has additional focus areas such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and fatherhood concerns. Parents may find her perspective useful given her combined clinical and personal experience as a parent.

For people navigating major life changes, health challenges, or complicated family dynamics, she offers collaborative care that emphasizes both understanding and workable steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Dr. Poster combines a few complementary approaches to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy starts with careful listening and collaboration; it focuses on each person’s experience and priorities and helps people feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses clear, structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationship patterns affect present connections and can be useful when family or intimacy issues are a focus.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first sessions she and the client check in on what is working and adjust the plan together so therapy stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist’s background includes experience delivering care in a virtual environment, and online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when needed. Discussing goals and logistics up front helps ensure session length and frequency fit everyday life.
