Dr. Tori Bronaugh, DC Psychologist PSY1001504, NY Psychologist 010162

Dr. Tori Bronaugh greets people with a calm, practical approach to common midlife concerns. She has worked with adults for 15 years and helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or unsure about their next steps. Her style is conversational and focused on small, useful changes that fit daily life.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That helps when someone wants to understand recurring conflicts or attachment issues. She also uses mindfulness to build steady attention and moments of relief during hard days.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are part of what she offers to help people manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Those skills are practical for handling anger, grief, or overwhelming stress. She adapts techniques to match each person’s pace and goals rather than following a fixed program.

Tori works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, parenting stresses, career questions, ADHD, depression, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and questions about identity. She pays attention to life-stage issues such as coping with change and searching for life purpose.

Dr. Bronaugh is licensed in Washington, DC as DC Psychologist PSY1001504 and in New York as NY Psychologist 010162. She practices from New York and speaks English. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session suited to their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape the way someone connects with others; online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and for improving regulation and decision making; these skills can be reviewed and rehearsed during sessions and applied between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy builds short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, useful for stress, anxiety, and grief.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as work progresses so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let a person use mindfulness practices or DBT skills in real time between sessions and bring those experiences back to discuss progress and next steps.
