About Tori
Dr. Tori Bronaugh helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or major life changes. She greets each person with clear, practical steps to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her style is calm and direct, aimed at making progress feel doable even when life feels chaotic. She has 15 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and is licensed in Washington, DC (DC Psychologist PSY1001504) and New York (NY Psychologist 010162).
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on how patterns from past relationships show up now and on skills people can use in the moment. That includes grounding and mindfulness practices and tools to reduce impulsive reactions. Her work blends insight with concrete skill-building.
People talk through what matters most, then practice small changes between sessions. Dr. Bronaugh often uses Attachment-Based ideas to track relationship patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions.
She also draws on psychodynamic perspectives to understand long-standing struggles and mindfulness therapy to increase present-moment awareness. Those approaches combine to address a wide range of concerns such as grief, depression, ADHD, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Sessions are offered in English from New York and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The initial steps are simple: select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits each person’s needs.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and close ties. It helps people notice recurring interaction styles and choose different responses in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behavior through concrete tools like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people keep visual connection while fitting therapy into a busy day. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when hands-free conversation is preferable. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or skill practice between longer sessions.
