About Meredith

Dr. Meredith Poster is a clinical psychologist in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She works with adolescents and adults, and supports parents navigating parenting and blended family challenges. Her style is practical: she listens, validates, and teaches skills clients can use day to day to feel more capable.

Dr. Poster blends several approaches rather than using only one method. She draws on client-centered care to follow what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she incorporates mindfulness to build calm and focus.

Her training includes a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University. She also has background in cognitive and projective testing and neurobehavioral assessment with children. Her listed credential is NY Psychologist 014041 and she has 17 years of clinical experience.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space while also working on concrete problem-solving. That may look like learning coping skills for anxiety, practicing communication steps for family conflict, or structuring plans to address substance use and recovery goals. She emphasizes collaboration so treatment fits each person's life and needs.

Dr. Poster notes experience with issues tied to family of origin, divorce and separation, fatherhood matters, caregiver stress, codependency, and certain personality patterns. She also supports people coping with health or chronic illness and with eating or sleeping concerns.

How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Poster commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in her sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's priorities, and shaping the work around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical steps that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so treatment stays useful and relevant.

Her biography notes she is experienced working in a virtual online environment. Please confirm the specific session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It also lets people practice new skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate problem-solving.
