Dr. Tori Bronaugh

Dr. Tori Bronaugh welcomes people who are feeling stuck, burned out, anxious, or unsure about their next career step. She speaks plainly about goals and options so people can make choices that fit their life. Dr. Bronaugh aims to create a steady space for reflection and practical change over time.

She brings 15 years of experience as a clinical psychologist (DC Psychologist PSY1001504, NY Psychologist 010162). Her work focuses on relationships, stress, mood concerns, grief, trauma and career questions. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way and then try different ways of responding in everyday situations.

Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness methods to strengthen present-moment awareness. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at recurring themes across a person’s life.

Sessions include talking through current problems, identifying strengths, and practicing new skills between meetings. She helps people with parenting strain, ADHD, identity and LGBT concerns, chronic stress, and career transitions among other issues. Dr. Bronaugh prefers to work collaboratively and to set clear, achievable goals with each person.

Her practice is based in New York and sessions are conducted in English. People who are considering therapy complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the intake and scheduling process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand recurring conflicts and build more satisfying connections. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for stress, anger, and mood swings. Mindfulness therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining insight-oriented reflection with hands-on skills practice depending on what feels most helpful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help people fit sessions into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and let someone attend from a quieter place with fewer interruptions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and skills coaching to work well in remote sessions when appropriate.
