About Marjorie
Dr. Marjorie Woodruff is a New Jersey psychologist with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and depression, and often helps people who are navigating caregiving demands or major life transitions. Many clients seek her out when they feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health.
She spends time listening first and then helping people sort what matters most. She talks through current problems and helps identify thinking patterns that no longer work. Sessions use practical steps drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to try new ways of responding to anxiety, panic, or low mood.
For the past 15 years she has concentrated on older adults and on the people who care for them. That work includes issues around aging, hospice and end-of-life decisions, isolation, and the stress that caregivers carry. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication troubles, guilt, and shame.
Her practice includes support for first responders and for people who are hearing impaired. She describes herself as someone who listens carefully, helps with problem solving, and works to make change concrete rather than abstract.

How CBT and online work can help with life transitions
Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that aim to make thinking and behavior patterns easier to change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them against real life, and building small practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. That approach is often used for panic attacks, ongoing worry, and low mood.She also applies problem-solving techniques to caregiving and aging concerns. That means breaking complex situations into steps, weighing options, and planning manageable actions to reduce stress and role overload.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend methods to try. That collaboration helps decide whether CBT, problem solving, or related strategies fit a client's needs.
