About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster helps people navigating stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and questions about codependency. She is a psychologist based in New York with 17 years of clinical experience. Her approach is practical and warm, and she aims to help clients build skills they can use day to day.
She blends several ways of working to match each person’s needs. That can include cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts, client-centered listening to help people feel heard, and mindfulness practices to manage emotions in the moment. She also draws on attachment and narrative influences to understand how early relationships and personal stories shape current patterns.
Meredith earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University. She also studied psychology at Tufts University. Her background includes training in psychodynamic work, cognitive behavioral therapy, testing methods, and assessments for children and infants.
She often works with issues around divorce, remarriage, blended families, parent education and health-related concerns. In sessions she balances empathy and validation with concrete problem-solving and skill teaching. That helps people feel understood while learning tools to manage symptoms and life changes.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and collaborates on treatment plans. She describes herself as a strong listener who adapts methods to fit each person’s goals and daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. Online sessions can be a place to notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting with others.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and support. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them while the therapist follows their lead and reflects what the client brings to sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes small exercises between meetings to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make fitting care into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and needs.
