About Tori
Dr. Tori Bronaugh welcomes parents and individuals looking for clear, practical help with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. She is a psychologist licensed in the District of Columbia (DC Psychologist PSY1001504) and New York (NY Psychologist 010162) with 15 years of clinical experience.
Her style is straightforward and focused on real-life problems. She writes and talks in plain language so parents can make sense of next steps quickly.
Background and approach
In sessions she starts by listening to what is most pressing. She helps people name patterns that get in the way, then tries short, doable strategies to change them. She draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns and uses mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas inform skills for managing strong emotions and staying balanced. Dr. Bronaugh blends insight-focused work with practical exercises.
That means sometimes the conversation looks at past relationship patterns, and sometimes it focuses on what to do this week to reduce stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, ADHD, mood conditions, and career or life-purpose questions. Her approach aims to be both thoughtful and action-oriented.
Sessions may include coaching elements when clients want clear goals and step-by-step plans. She pays attention to strengths and helps clients build routines that fit busy lives. People who want calm, straightforward guidance about parenting and other life demands will find a direct, caring perspective here.
Dr. Bronaugh works in New York and offers services in English. She brings a practical, steady presence to help people make small changes that add up over time.

Approaches Tori lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Bronaugh often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationships shape current patterns. This work looks at how connection and trust play out in close relationships and helps clients try different ways of relating. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for handling intense feelings and improving day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That might mean trying a mindfulness practice for a few weeks, then adding skills training or insight-focused sessions depending on progress and preference.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a short check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief coaching and flexible check-ins between calls. These formats help parents and busy adults fit therapy into their routines and try different ways of connecting with a therapist.
