About Paula

Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with two decades of clinical experience. She blends a background in special education and counseling to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief and trauma, ADHD, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Paula draws on practical, goal-focused work to help clients address concerns like sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and workplace issues, self-esteem, and anger management.

Her training includes a B.S. in Special Education from Wayne State University and an M.A. in Counseling from Oakland University, and she leverages that combination to offer insight into autism spectrum issues, ADHD, cognitive impairment, and learning differences.

Paula often uses cognitive-behavioral and solution-oriented methods to identify concrete, achievable goals, adapting her approach when clients present developmental or learning-related needs. She welcomes a collaborative first visit where clients can share as much as they like and together clarify priorities and next steps.

Paula offers weekday daytime and evening availability plus limited weekend hours to accommodate varied schedules.

Practical therapies and online access



Paula commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve sleep and daily functioning. She also employs solution-oriented therapy, a brief and practical approach that helps clients set specific goals and build step-by-step strategies for addressing concerns like relationship friction, parenting challenges, or workplace problems.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Paula discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors interventions to fit learning styles, developmental needs, and real-life constraints rather than applying a single method to every case.

Online therapy with Paula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules. These remote options make it easier to fit regular sessions into weekday daytime, evening, or limited weekend hours, and allow clients to continue focused, evidence-informed work from wherever they are located in Michigan.
