About Marjorie
Dr. Marjorie Woodruff brings 30 years of clinical practice in New Jersey, concentrating on stress, anxiety, grief, and depression.
Background and approach
She has developed particular expertise in caregiving challenges and the transitions that come with aging, spending the last 15 years focusing on older adults and the people who support them. Her approach emphasizes attentive listening, empathy, and practical problem solving to address recurring emotional patterns.
Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles, she helps clients recognize and shift thinking patterns that contribute to distress. Many of her clients remain connected over long periods as they navigate life changes, relapse prevention, and evolving goals.
Dr. Woodruff works with concerns ranging from panic attacks and mood disorders to isolation, communication problems, and end-of-life issues, offering steady guidance through complex emotional situations.
Licensed in New Jersey as NJ Psychologist 35SI0042700, she communicates in English and accepts international clients. Her practice supports people coping with abandonment, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, hearing impairment needs, and questions of life purpose.
Prospective clients can expect a thoughtful, problem-focused style aimed at creating workable strategies for daily life.
Online CBT and Practical Strategies for Everyday Challenges
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-world evidence. This approach teaches concrete skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, and persistent worry by replacing patterns that maintain distress with more adaptive thinking and behaviors.
In addition to CBT-informed techniques, she emphasizes problem solving and supportive listening to help clients face caregiving stress, grief, and the transitions that come with aging. Those approaches aim to produce practical steps clients can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and life circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options support consistent care for people managing caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or busy routines while preserving continuity with a licensed professional.
