About Tori

Dr. Tori Bronaugh greets people who are ready to look at what is difficult and find practical ways forward. She keeps sessions focused and direct so parents and adults can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief, mood concerns, and challenges tied to attention or intellectual disability. Conversations aim to surface strengths and small steps people can try between meetings.

Her style blends insight with skills practice. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She also uses mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Sessions mix talking, reflection, and concrete strategies tailored to the person’s goals.

Bronaugh has 15 years of clinical experience and holds credentials as a DC Psychologist (PSY1001504) and a New York Psychologist (010162). She works with adults on life changes, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care-related issues, caregiver stress, and identity topics including LGBT matters.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns from family of origin and attachment history, then practice new ways of responding. She supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles, and assists with career or purpose questions when those come up.

Her approach aims to be practical. People leave with concrete tools, clearer self-understanding, and a plan for next steps. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits your needs.

Step 3

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Dr. Bronaugh commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and to help people try different ways of relating. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies that teach practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing conflict, and she uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend which methods to focus on. Together they check progress and adjust the plan over time so work in therapy fits real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone practice new skills between appointments and bring examples from daily life into the conversation.
