About Paula
Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life changes. She works with adolescents aged 12 and up and adults. Paula also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting strain, relationship issues, and workplace pressures.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University. Paula has about 20 years of counseling experience and prior work in special education. That background informs how she adapts supports for people with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, learning differences, or cognitive challenges.
New clients are invited to share what feels relevant at the first visit. If someone has goals in mind, Paula will use them to shape the plan. If not, she helps identify clear, achievable aims and checks progress along the way.
Scheduling includes weekday daytime and some evening hours up to 8:00 pm Eastern, plus limited weekend times between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm Eastern. Session structure emphasizes concrete steps and practical strategies to improve daily routines, sleep, and coping skills.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Paula practices cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-oriented techniques. Cognitive behavioral work looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests small changes to see what helps. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep disruption, low mood, and managing daily routines. Solution-oriented work focuses on clear, achievable goals and on steps a person can try between sessions to make progress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Paula will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together the person and Paula decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not state which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during evenings or weekends. It can also let people attend from quieter surroundings or use a shorter phone check-in when that fits their schedule better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and sleep or routine work to remote sessions in many cases, while keeping the focus on practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
