About Paula
Paula Mardit is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Michigan with about 20 years of counseling experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, trauma and grief, and issues related to ADHD and eating or sleeping problems.
She uses clear, goal-focused work in sessions. Paula draws primarily on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-oriented methods. That means sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and working toward concrete, short-term goals.
Paula's background includes a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University. Her earlier work in special education gives her additional perspective on autism spectrum issues, attention differences, cognitive impairment, and learning disabilities.
She offers therapy to adolescents age 12 and older as well as to adults. In the first session she asks what you hope to change and helps set clear, achievable steps. If you are unsure what to aim for, she will help you pin down practical goals.
Scheduling options have included weekday daytime and evening hours and some weekend times. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; confirm current scheduling and session options before booking.
How sessions work
Practical approaches and online sessions
Paula often uses cognitive behavioral techniques, which involve spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. These methods break problems into manageable steps and teach specific skills to handle difficult moods and situations.She also draws on solution-oriented work that narrows attention to immediate, achievable goals. That approach helps with parenting challenges, relationship strain, and coping with life changes by focusing on small changes that can make daily life easier.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Paula will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying techniques and adjusting them as needed.
