Dr. Marjorie Woodruff, NJ Psychologist 35SI0042700

Dr. Marjorie Woodruff helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She is a New Jersey psychologist with three decades of practice. Many seek her out for help with caregiving strain and issues that come with aging.

She listens closely and makes room for whatever someone brings to a session. Her style is direct and practical. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.

For the past 15 years she has focused on older adults and the people who care for them. That work includes hospice and end-of-life concerns, coping with loss, and the transitions that come with later life. She also assists with isolation, hearing-impaired clients, and the specific stresses that caregivers carry.

Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which centers on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She combines that approach with active listening and problem solving to set clear, manageable goals together with each person.

People who stay with her long term often say they value steady support through ups and downs. She works to make sessions useful from week to week, with attention to everyday problems and practical steps toward change.

CBT and practical approaches for online care

Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people learn new ways to respond to anxiety, panic, low mood, and worry by practicing small, concrete changes in thinking and behavior.

She also leans on active listening and problem solving in sessions, helping people break large problems into manageable steps. That approach can support grief work, caregiver stress, and the practical challenges of aging or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as work progresses. Collaboration guides decisions about pace and focus.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT techniques for remote sessions so that progress continues even when meeting at a distance.
