About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster is a New York Psychologist (NY Psychologist 014041) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. Her practice includes attention to blended family issues and parenting challenges that come with remarriage and co-parenting.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods rather than labels. Sessions focus on clear problem-solving and skill building. Clients learn ways to manage worry, improve communication, and handle everyday family tensions. Meredith draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful patterns and on mindfulness to reduce reactivity.
Her background includes a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She trained in CBT and psychodynamic approaches and has experience with assessment techniques used with children and adolescents. That clinical training informs how she thinks about family roles and parenting stress.
In conversation she leans toward client-centered and attachment-informed work. That means attention to how relationships shape emotions and behavior, and practical steps to repair or shift those patterns. She also uses narrative strategies to help people reframe difficult life chapters.
Sessions tend to mix validation with hands-on strategies. Meredith describes her style as collaborative: she helps set specific goals and teaches the skills to reach them. This includes coaching around communication, boundaries, and the routines that matter when households merge.
Her practice is based in New York and sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Poster commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed work in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and behavior patterns that affect family life. Attachment-informed work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness, which can be useful when stepparents and children are adjusting to new roles.She also draws on client-centered and narrative elements to listen and help people tell a clearer story about their concerns. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals, preferences, and the practical challenges in their household.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into busy schedules and avoiding travel. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins on a break, calmer sessions when travel would be difficult, or consistent follow-up when family routines are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, attachment discussions, and mindfulness practices to remote formats so the focus remains on skills that help at home.
