About Paula

Paula Mardit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, sleep and eating concerns, and trauma. Paula works with adolescents age 12 and older as well as adults.

Paula uses clear, goal-focused methods to make sessions practical. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-oriented work to identify patterns and test small changes. Sessions aim to set concrete, achievable goals you can use between meetings.

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 mix of special education and counseling experience informs how she supports people with autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, learning differences, and cognitive impairment.

At the first session Paula invites clients to share what feels most important, or to arrive without a clear plan and build goals together. She focuses on practical steps and skills that fit into daily life, rather than lengthy theory discussions.

She offers weekday daytime hours, weekday evenings up to 8:00 pm Eastern, and some weekend windows from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Eastern. Costs vary with location and scheduling and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Practical approaches for anger and everyday stress

Paula relies on clear, evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and daily challenges. Cognitive behavioral strategies look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach skills to change unhelpful patterns; these tools can be helpful for anger, anxiety, and low mood. Solution-oriented methods focus on small, concrete steps and on what works now, which is useful when someone needs quick, practical changes for everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That conversation guides which techniques are used and how sessions are arranged, so therapy feels collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for evening times after work, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed, or preserve time during a workday for a focused session rather than a longer commute. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt pacing and tools to suit each person's needs and daily routine.
