Dr. Meredith Poster, NY Psychologist 014041

Dr. Meredith Poster connects with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps in life. She introduces clear, practical tools and steady listening to help with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting pressures, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions including midlife questions. She writes simply and works to make sessions feel calm and focused so clients can tackle the problems that matter most to them.

Dr. Poster is a New York psychologist with 17 years of experience. She blends client-centered, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral ideas to match the needs of each person. That means clients spend time naming patterns, learning small skills, and testing new ways of coping between sessions.

Her work often includes support around family roles, blended family situations, divorce and separation, and parenting challenges. She also helps people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Sessions aim to mix validation with practical steps. She listens for what matters most, then prioritizes changes that can be tried right away. Clients can expect a collaborative plan with short-term goals and tools to practice in daily life.

Dr. Poster trained at Tufts University and earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She describes herself as approachable and experienced in working in virtual settings, and she supports English-speaking clients from her New York practice.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Dr. Poster often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions, helping people notice connection patterns and try new interaction habits. She uses client-centered methods to keep the session focused on each person's concerns, listening closely and following the client's lead so goals feel personally meaningful.

She also brings cognitive behavioral techniques to teach concrete skills for anxiety, sleep, or mood problems, such as breaking down unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Together these approaches let clients both understand problems and practice manageable experiments that can change daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new issues come up or progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools learned in sessions immediately at home or work, which many clients find helpful for making real-life changes.
