Background and approach
In conversation she helps people notice patterns in relationships and in their own thinking. Sessions often focus on concrete skills and on understanding where difficult reactions come from. She helps people build coping tools for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and other concerns.
She also addresses issues such as parenting strain, career setbacks, identity questions, and feeling isolated. Dr. Bronaugh holds psychology credentials in Washington, DC and New York and practices from New York.
She uses simple, everyday language in sessions so ideas are easy to use between meetings. People can expect a mix of skill-building, reflection, and practical problem solving. Her style aims to balance insight with action.
That means noticing what repeats in relationships while practicing new ways of reacting. The goal is to help people feel more steady, more confident, and better able to handle life’s changes.
Online approaches that blend insight and practical skills
Dr. Bronaugh uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence reactions now. This approach looks at how connection and separation affect feelings and behavior and can help with relationship stress, abandonment concerns, and family of origin issues.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These are concrete tools people can use when anxiety, anger, or impulsivity feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That means trying different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on anxiety and life changes while fitting therapy into a real-life routine.
