Background and approach
She adds cognitive behavioral techniques to teach skills for changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and low mood. Her work also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. Narrative strategies are used when it helps clients reframe their story and see new possibilities.
Mindfulness practices are offered to build focus and reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Dr. Poster earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from The Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University.

How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; this approach can be useful for relationship issues, parenting concerns, and attachment-related anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and meeting the person where they are; it creates a space to talk through feelings and decide on goals without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going, which can be especially helpful for stress, sleep, and coping with life changes. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time. Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions and use brief support during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while still using attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools to make progress.Questions people ask
