About Meredith
Dr. Meredith Poster helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, or life changes. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people make sense of difficult patterns and feel more in control.
Dr. Poster presents a calm, steady presence and aims to make sessions manageable and useful for busy lives. She draws on 17 years of experience as a psychologist in New York and a background that includes assessment and clinical work with children and adults.
Background and approach
Her training includes work with cognitive behavioral approaches, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered care. She believes therapy should match each person's needs rather than force one method on everyone. In sessions she listens for the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, and she helps them find different ways to understand and change those stories.
That narrative focus pairs with skills-based techniques for anxiety, sleep, and addictive behaviors. She also supports parents with practical strategies for blended family dynamics and fatherhood issues. Her style balances empathy with clear problem-solving.
She works with people facing trauma, depression, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and caregiver strain. Dr. Poster emphasizes short-term tools alongside deeper exploration when that is helpful.
Clients can expect help setting concrete goals, learning coping skills, and practicing new responses between sessions. She offers several remote formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Online session options
How narrative and skills work online
Dr. Poster combines narrative listening with attachment-aware and client-centered ways of working to help people make sense of their difficulties. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships and helps find alternative, more helpful storylines. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and can illuminate patterns in close connections. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to be heard and to guide the goals of their work.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and history and suggest ways of working that fit. That may mean starting with practical coping skills and then moving into deeper narrative work, or mixing approaches as needs change.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their day. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and relational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or steady progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family or work schedule.
