About Paula
Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem issues. Paula works with adolescents age 12 and up and with adults of all ages.
Paula uses clear, goal-focused work in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-oriented methods to help clients identify small, practical steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are about setting achievable goals and testing what works in daily life. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University. Two decades of practice and prior special education work inform her understanding of autism spectrum issues, learning differences, and cognitive impairment.
New clients can expect an initial visit that invites them to share at their own pace. Paula will ask about what a successful outcome looks like and then help shape a plan that matches those aims. She offers daytime, evening, and some weekend appointment times to fit different schedules.
Paula provides sessions through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She tailors the approach to each person's needs and focuses on concrete strategies parents and adults can try between sessions.

How Paula Tailors Evidence-Based Work Online
Paula commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday struggles because it focuses on practical, measurable changes.She also draws on solution-oriented methods that zero in on strengths and small steps. Those methods fit well for parenting challenges, career stress, and short-term problem solving where clients want concrete actions to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula will discuss options with each person, consider goals and preferences, and adapt methods as progress unfolds. The plan can shift if something isn't working so the work stays focused on what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity with a therapist across different routines and schedules.
