About Marjorie
Dr. Marjorie Woodruff helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also supports those facing caregiver strain and challenges tied to aging. Her work often focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She is a New Jersey psychologist with 30 years of professional experience. Over the past 15 years she has concentrated on issues that affect older adults and the people who care for them. That experience includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and helping people handle isolation, role changes, and the emotional toll of caregiving.
Her style is direct and listening-focused. She pays attention, asks clear questions, and helps people spot thinking patterns that make problems worse. Then she works with them to try different ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as one of her approaches, is used to break down problems into manageable parts and test practical changes. She also draws on problem solving and supportive conversation to address issues like abandonment, guilt, or life purpose.
Many clients stay with her for years through life transitions. She describes her strengths as listening, empathy, and guided problem solving. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How CBT and practical therapy translate to online care
Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT breaks problems into smaller pieces and focuses on concrete steps to reduce anxiety and lift mood, which can work well in remote sessions. She also uses problem solving and supportive conversation to address caregiving stress, grief, and feelings of isolation.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide whether to emphasize CBT exercises, problem solving, or supportive sessions. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and the therapist partners with the client to find what helps most.
