Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match each person's needs. Over the past 15 years she has focused on older adults and the people who care for them. That work includes dealing with hospice and end-of-life questions, hearing loss issues, and the stress of long-term caregiving.
She helps people find clearer steps when routines and roles shift. She is known for attentive listening and steady problem solving. People who stay with her long term often say the steady guidance helped them through repeated life changes.
Her style balances warmth with practical skill building. Therapy with Dr. Woodruff often centers on small, manageable goals.
Those goals can include reducing panic attacks, easing persistent worry, and coping with loss. She encourages regular practice of new ways of thinking and simple behavioral changes to support progress.
CBT Strategies and Online Options for Anxiety
Dr. Woodruff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety and panic. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then helps replace unhelpful routines with more helpful ones. This approach is often used for panic attacks, chronic worry, mood issues, and for coping with grief.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and comfort level. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most, with the therapist and client deciding together on next steps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit quick updates or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
