About Paula
Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career and relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, sleep and eating issues, and young adult issues.
Paula uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-oriented therapy in straightforward sessions. She focuses on setting concrete, achievable goals and on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions begin with an open conversation about what the client wants to address and how they prefer to work.
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 special education experience informs her understanding of autism spectrum concerns, ADHD, learning differences, and cognitive impairment.
Paula has worked in counseling for two decades and brings that practical experience to varied life situations. She helps people who are unsure what they want from therapy as well as those who come with clear goals.
Her hours include weekday daytime, evenings to 8pm Eastern, and some weekend morning slots. People who live in Michigan or elsewhere in the United States can expect sessions arranged through the platform’s booking process.
How her approaches work with online therapy
Paula lists cognitive behavioral therapy as a primary approach. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and explores small experiments to test new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.She also uses solution-oriented therapy. That approach focuses on what a person wants to change and on practical steps to get there. It is goal-focused and often helpful when someone wants clear, short-term strategies for everyday problems.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients can expect to discuss preferences and practical needs early in the work together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work, class, or family routines because they remove travel time and can be scheduled more flexibly. Different formats can also mean shorter check-ins, sessions outside business hours, or options that do not require video if that better fits a person’s day-to-day life.
