About Meredith

Dr. Meredith Poster introduces herself as a clinical psychologist who blends clinical experience with practical life knowledge to help people move forward.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic setting where clients and she collaborate to build individualized treatment plans that combine empathy, validation, and problem-solving skills. Her work focuses on teaching concrete skills so clients can address stressors, mood concerns, relationship and family challenges, addiction and trauma-related issues, ADHD, and other areas that affect daily functioning.

Trained at The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and with an undergraduate background in psychology from Tufts University, Dr. Poster draws on an integrative toolkit that includes psychodynamic ideas, client-centered stance, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral strategies.

With 17 years of clinical experience and a New York psychologist license (NY Psychologist 014041), she has developed particular expertise in divorce and remarriage dynamics, blended family issues, parent education and counseling, and health-related concerns. She offers in-person-informed clinical skills adapted for virtual care and works to help clients feel empowered and better equipped to manage life’s changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Poster commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and attention-related challenges. The client-centered approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore goals and feel heard while developing practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Dr. Poster works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and blends techniques as necessary, so clients and therapist can adjust focus over time to best support progress.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to offer skills training, problem-solving work, and reflective therapy across a range of concerns.
