Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are taught when they fit a person’s goals. She trained at Tufts University for undergraduate work and earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Meredith has 17 years of clinical experience and lists her credential as NY Psychologist 014041.
Her background includes assessment work and treating issues tied to health and chronic conditions. In sessions she keeps the tone warm and nonjudgmental. Conversations focus on practical steps alongside reflection about relationships and past experiences.
Clients leave with concrete tools to manage anxiety, tackle phobias, improve sleep, or cope with change. Dr. Poster offers online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
She works with each person to build a plan that fits their daily life and goals.
Approaches that guide online work and remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; it helps people notice patterns that affect closeness and fear. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by listening closely and responding to each person’s needs; it supports self-understanding and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, phobias, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then blend methods to fit those goals. This is a collaborative process so the plan can shift as needs change.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be used when a quieter setting is needed or bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills, exploration, and steady progress.
