About Michael
Michael Booth is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience. He works with adults who feel their life has been affected by depression, anxiety, addictions, anger, or a loss of meaning. Michael focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. He meets people where they are and works together with them to set clear goals.
He draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered methods, and existential ideas. In sessions he listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. He uses straightforward tools to manage symptoms like panic, low mood, or compulsive behaviors.
Michael often helps people who are wrestling with relationship strain, family of origin issues, grief, or questions about life purpose. He also supports people facing addictions, process addictions, and co-occurring concerns such as ADHD or bipolar-related challenges. Conversations cover what matters now and what small changes could improve daily life.
His practice emphasizes collaboration and tracking progress over time. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, and scheduling is handled after that step. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a California-based LMFT who has long-term experience working with adults.
Michael encourages people who are feeling stuck to take the next step. He aims to make the work practical and manageable, helping clients find clearer direction and more consistent hope.
