About Marjorie
NJ Psychologist Dr. Marjorie Woodruff has 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and depression and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work.
Dr. Woodruff helps people who are managing loss, caregiving strains, panic, and persistent low mood. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at changing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing clearer coping steps.
Her approach emphasizes listening and problem solving. She and the person in therapy look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Then they try small, manageable changes and track what helps. This is a hands-on style with concrete steps between sessions.
For about 15 years she has focused on challenges tied to aging and the strains faced by caregivers and people facing end-of-life decisions. She has experience supporting hearing-impaired clients and those dealing with hospice or geriatric concerns. That work often includes discussing practical planning and communication strategies.
Her professional background is steady and long-term. People who stay with her do so through changes in life and mood. To begin, she asks about current stressors and goals, and then they map out short-term tasks and longer-term work together.

How CBT shapes remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and mood problems. In practice this means naming unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing different behaviors to see what helps. This method is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood disorders.She also applies practical problem solving that breaks large stressors into smaller tasks. That work helps with caregiving challenges, end-of-life planning discussions, and easing feelings of isolation by creating clear next steps.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review a client’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend what to try first. They will adjust methods as needed based on how the client responds and what feels manageable.
