Woods is most recently known for her role of Deborah "Deb" Lee on One Tree Hill (2003–2009). She started out recurring in season 1 and was upgraded to full series regular status in November sweeps. Due to the format change of the show she only appeared in four episodes of season 5 but returned as a series regular in season 6.

She posed nude for the June 1993 issue of Playboy as part of a promotion for the television series Eden. Her TV guest appearances include "The Schizoid Man", an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Desperate Housewives, Married with Children, Picket Fences, Ally McBeal, Wings, and American Dreams.
