About Paula
Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She supports those facing depression, career strain, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to ADHD and self-esteem. Paula works with adolescents 12 and older as well as adults of all ages.
Her style is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals and steps people can take between meetings.
Background and approach
Paula listens first, then helps shape small changes that add up over time. Paula draws on a background in special education and counseling. That combination gives her extra perspective on autism spectrum concerns, ADHD, learning differences, and age-related challenges.
She uses that perspective to tailor strategies to the person she is seeing rather than using one fixed plan. With 20 years of experience, she blends cognitive behavioral methods with solution-oriented work to address present problems and build skills. People who come for help with anger and communication get practical tools to notice triggers and try different responses.
Paula offers weekday, evening, and some weekend times to fit varied schedules. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session to discuss goals and next steps.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Paula commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-oriented work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression. Solution-oriented work centers on defining small, realistic goals and building step-by-step plans to reach them.Her background in special education also shapes how she adapts strategies for people with ADHD or learning differences, making exercises clearer and more concrete. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process; Paula will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single path.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and practice new responses in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
