About Paula
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 16 years of experience, Paula Leapheart helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and parenting difficulties, depression, grief, and trauma-related issues. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide practical work on everyday problems.

Paula frames therapy around the idea that clients know their own lives best. She listens first, then helps people identify goals and small steps they can take. Sessions emphasize clear communication, coping skills, and improving relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change around substance use and other behaviors, while Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on doable next steps.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help manage anxiety, stress, and strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the tone of sessions so the person’s concerns direct the agenda. Practical tools for anger, self-esteem, and life transitions are blended with conversations about attachment, codependency, and commitment issues.
Paula has sixteen years in behavioral health and completed a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2014 from Walden University. Her background includes work with people facing substance use challenges, relationship conflict, and adjustment after major life changes. She highlights building a working relationship as an early focus.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-oriented meetings that move from understanding problems to trying concrete strategies. Sessions also address topics like postpartum depression, family problems, and money or life-purpose concerns. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.

How Paula’s approaches translate to remote work
Paula commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the client’s concerns shape each meeting and the therapist follows the person’s lead to identify priorities and next steps. Motivational Interviewing focuses conversation on strengthening motivation for change, which can help with substance use or other behavior shifts.She also uses Solution-Focused ideas to pick a small, practical step to try between meetings. Deciding which approaches to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as work proceeds.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness practices and skill-building exercises during the week and then talk about how those went in the next meeting.
