About Marjorie

Dr. Marjorie Woodruff offers help for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She has particular experience supporting people who are dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks. Her approach is calm and practical and she focuses on clear steps people can take between sessions.

Woodruff is a New Jersey psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience. She has spent the last 15 years focusing on older adults and the people who care for them. Many clients have worked with her through long stretches of life change and stayed connected over time.

In sessions she listens first and then helps clients sort problems into manageable pieces. She uses problem solving and work on unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce distress. Sessions are straightforward and geared toward things a person can try and adjust in daily life.

She also helps with caregiving challenges, family communication problems, and issues tied to aging and end-of-life decisions. Other areas she addresses include isolation, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose in midlife.

Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and looks for practical changes. She speaks English and sees people in New Jersey, and she accepts international clients. She holds the credential NJ Psychologist 35SI0042700.

How CBT and practical work fit into online care

Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people link thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and small behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and panic going. That can mean trying short exercises between sessions and testing out new ways of coping.

Her work is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and pick approaches that fit their situation. Finding the right method is part of the process and may be adjusted as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific online or remote session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when life changes make office visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and homework to remote sessions so practical progress continues.
