Paula Mardit , LPC

Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, and the ups and downs of parenting and relationships. Paula also supports those coping with grief, trauma, sleep or eating issues, and work-related challenges.

She uses straightforward, practical methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to set clear, reachable goals. Sessions are focused on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there. Paula welcomes people who already know their aims and those who are still figuring things out.

Paula holds a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University. More than 20 years of combined experience in counseling and special education shape her work. That background gives her extra perspective on ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, learning differences, and cognitive challenges.

In the first session she invites clients to share at their own pace and to say what they hope to achieve. Together they will set concrete, manageable goals and track progress. She schedules daytime, evening, and some weekend appointments to fit different routines.

Paula works with adolescents ages 12 and up and adults of all ages. Her practice includes attention to women's issues, aging and geriatric concerns, body image, workplace stress, and the transitions common to young adulthood.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Paula commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress. She also applies solution-oriented methods that concentrate on specific goals and practical steps you can try between sessions; this can be useful for career decisions, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Plans are adjusted over time so the work fits what is actually helpful for the client.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls let people read expressions and have longer conversations, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and format so people can choose what works best for their routine and comfort.
