How Tori works
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps as well as understanding patterns that may be holding someone back. Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness skills. That means she pays attention to early relationship patterns, helps people notice unhelpful reactions, and teaches ways to calm and regulate emotions in the moment.
She also draws on DBT-informed techniques when people need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. In early sessions she aims to build a shared plan. She helps people identify strengths and small, doable changes.
Therapy can include looking at past patterns and practicing new responses for daily life. People come for work on parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, trauma and abuse, adoption and foster-related concerns, and complex mental health issues like bipolar or co-morbid conditions. She also supports those facing isolation, career crossroads, and questions about life purpose.

Online support options
Attachment and Skills-Based Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Bronaugh frequently uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach looks at how patterns from the past play out now and what to try instead to feel more connected and less reactive. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques that teach clear skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that match the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can shift as progress is made or as new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for conversations without video. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work on goals across different settings.
