About Paula
Paula Mardit is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Michigan with two decades of counseling experience. She works with adults and adolescents 12 and up on problems like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and ADHD. Paula keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused to help people manage day-to-day struggles.
Paula uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-oriented work. She helps clients identify small, doable changes that build toward larger goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on skills for coping, improving sleep and eating patterns, and managing anger or relationship stress. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University.
That mix of special education and counseling experience gives her extra perspective on autism spectrum issues, learning disabilities, and cognitive differences. Paula tailors her approach when ADHD, learning differences, or cognitive impairment are part of the picture. She listens to what each person wants to achieve and helps set concrete, achievable steps.
People who are unsure what they want from therapy are encouraged to start with simple goals and adjust as they go. Typical appointment options include daytime, evening hours up to 8:00 p.m. Eastern, and some weekend slots.
Paula emphasizes clear, practical work so clients can use what they learn between sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Paula commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful patterns. This approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges in daily life.She also draws on solution-oriented methods focused on small, achievable changes. Those sessions concentrate on setting clear goals and practicing steps between meetings, which works well with brief check-ins and messaging support.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Paula will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, then shape sessions to fit. Together they choose strategies and adjust them based on how things are progressing.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow fuller discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules.
