About Tori

Dr. Tori Bronaugh greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about their next steps. She offers a steady, practical presence for those facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting questions, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Her tone in sessions is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people notice what’s getting in the way and try different ways forward. Dr. Bronaugh earned a Ph.D. and holds licensure as DC Psychologist PSY1001504 and NY Psychologist 010162.

Background and approach

She brings 15 years of clinical experience working with adults. That background informs how she blends several approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for teaching concrete skills around emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to help manage intense feelings. Psychodynamic perspectives help uncover repeating themes that influence behavior and relationships. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical change.

Dr. Bronaugh helps people identify strengths, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of coping between meetings. Her work is conversational but purposeful, combining insight with skill-building.

She offers care from her New York location and works in English. For those beginning therapy, she encourages starting with a short intake to clarify goals and find an approach that fits the person’s life and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Dr. Bronaugh frequently integrates attachment-based work and dialectical behavior therapy tools when working online. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence how people connect today and can help with recurring patterns in relationships and parenting. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then collaborate to choose or combine methods that fit. That shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for daily life and family concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, try shorter check-ins, or use messaging for between-session support. The range of formats promotes flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills, insight, and gradual change.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
