About Paula
Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She works with adolescents 12 and older and adults of all ages. Paula draws on twenty years of counseling experience to offer practical support for everyday problems.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University.
Background and approach
That mix of special education and counseling gives her extra perspective when someone is dealing with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, learning differences, or cognitive challenges. Paula adapts her approach to match each person's needs and learning style. In sessions Paula uses cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-oriented techniques to focus on concrete, achievable goals.
She helps clients break down stressful problems into small, manageable steps and practices new ways of coping. Work often involves skill building for anxiety, mood, sleep, eating, and anger concerns. Paula also supports people facing parenting strain, relationship stress, grief, trauma, workplace issues, and transitions such as divorce or career change.
She checks in about what a client hopes to accomplish and adjusts the plan as needed. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Scheduling includes weekday daytime hours, evenings up to 8:00 PM Eastern, and some weekend morning slots between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM Eastern.
Paula uses multiple online formats to make therapy fit into busy lives.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Paula commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-oriented methods. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Solution-oriented work centers on clear, short-term goals and finding practical steps that fit into daily life to address stress, sleep, or parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paula collaborates with each person to decide which strategies to try first, adjusts methods based on progress, and includes skill practice between sessions when helpful. This teamwork helps tailor care to the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a lunch break or to follow up with short updates between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around school, work, and family life.
