About
Jennifer Woodruff, LCSW, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who brings eight years of professional experience to her work with clients. She is licensed in multiple states and Washington, DC, and has spent a significant portion of her career in a community mental health center, supporting people through a broad range of life challenges.
Her practice includes helping clients navigate concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, career challenges, domestic violence, substance use, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports clients working through blended family dynamics, codependency, control-related patterns, divorce and separation, life purpose questions, and obsessions, compulsions, and OCD-related concerns.
Before entering the social work field, Jennifer worked as a public elementary school teacher and as a librarian. She approaches therapy with respect for each person’s autonomy and decision-making, and she aims to create a supportive space for healing and forward movement. Her clinical style draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Practical online therapy with evidence-based tools
Jennifer Woodruff integrates approaches that help clients feel heard while also gaining practical strategies for everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and the belief that people can move forward in ways that fit their values. It can be especially helpful when someone wants support navigating life changes, relationship strain, or questions of identity and direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another, then practicing skills that support steadier moods and healthier choices. CBT is often used when clients are working through anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns such as obsessions and compulsions. Motivational Interviewing can also be useful when someone feels stuck or conflicted, especially around behavior change and substance use, by strengthening motivation and clarifying personal reasons for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what style of support feels most comfortable, then tailors sessions accordingly.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit support into busy schedules at home, work, or during transitions.How much experience does Jennifer Woodruff have?
