About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by money stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures, or life changes. She is a Clinical Psychologist with 17 years of experience and she writes in a direct, practical style. Her approach aims to help people identify steps they can take now to feel steadier and more capable.
Dr. Poster mixes approaches so sessions focus on what helps each person most. She uses client-centered ways to follow what matters to the person. She brings cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-based ideas and mindfulness work help with closeness, emotional regulation, and everyday stress.
She trained at Tufts University and earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She has experience with testing and neurobehavioral assessment techniques from that training period. Her background includes supporting people through divorce, remarriage, blended family challenges, chronic illness, and parenting concerns.
In sessions she aims to be warm and nonjudgmental while also focusing on practical problem solving. She collaborates with each person to develop a plan that fits their life. Many clients do short-term work for specific problems and others do longer-term work to change patterns that have become painful.
Sessions are conducted in English and she sees people based in New York. The therapist asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Poster often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and attachment-based ideas. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what the person brings and the therapist reflects and listens closely to clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing new responses to change daily habits. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and how they affect stress, intimacy, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try different methods, and adapt based on what feels most useful. This helps shape a treatment plan that matches the person's needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also lets the therapist use practical tools during sessions, such as brief exercises, homework planning, and in-the-moment skill coaching to help manage money stress, parenting demands, or relationship strain.
