Background and approach
Dr. Bronaugh uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships.
She also incorporates mindfulness techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach breathing, emotion regulation, and practical coping tools. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, doable changes. Her practice pays attention to complicated situations like trauma, attachment wounds, adoption and foster care experiences, and co-occurring conditions.
She helps people untangle shame, guilt, impulsivity, or isolation so they can move toward clearer goals. She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life purpose work. Dr.
Bronaugh holds credentials as a DC Psychologist (PSY1001504) and a New York Psychologist (010162). She offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability. The process is intended to be straightforward so people can focus on the work they want to do.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Dr. Bronaugh uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions; this helps when clients want to understand why certain conflicts repeat. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal tools that can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity during stressful situations.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, challenges, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize insight, skills training, or coaching for practical life changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
