About Paula
Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people handle work stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports clients managing ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and workplace issues. Paula works with adolescents aged 12 and up, and with adults across the lifespan.
Paula uses clear, goal-focused methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses solution-oriented strategies to set small, practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University. Two decades of practice have given her experience across schools and clinical settings, and extra insight into autism spectrum differences, learning challenges, and cognitive impairment.
At the first session Paula invites people to share what they feel comfortable with and to describe any goals they have. If goals are unclear, she works collaboratively to identify concrete, achievable targets. Sessions tend to focus on practical coping tools and skills that can be put into everyday routines.
She offers weekday daytime appointments and can schedule evenings up to 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Weekend morning and early afternoon slots are sometimes available. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
Approaches that translate to online work
Paula commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. This method helps with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and sleep or eating concerns by teaching concrete skills and practical exercises to try between sessions.She also favors solution-oriented techniques that break larger problems into small, achievable steps. This approach is useful for career decisions, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes because it centers on clear goals and short-term actions that can be reviewed each week.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Paula collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs and preferences, and she adjusts plans as goals change. Clients and the therapist work together to track progress and pick techniques that feel helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy workday, reduce travel time, and allow concise check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also support consistent weekly work when in-person visits are difficult to schedule.
