About Michael
Michael Booth is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience helping adults who feel stuck by depression, anxiety, addictions, anger, or a lack of meaning. He focuses on clear, practical steps that can improve daily life and self-esteem. Michael keeps language simple so people can follow along even during stressful moments.
He spends time getting to know each person and works together with them to set goals. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small changes that add up. Michael uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify thinking patterns and from acceptance-based work to help with values and purpose.
His background includes long-term clinical work with people facing trauma, grief, relationship strain, and substance or process addictions. He also supports people dealing with panic, paranoia, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and challenges linked to family of origin or attachment patterns. Michael brings a calm, direct style and emphasizes tracking progress so clients can see change over time.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone that balances practical skills and deeper reflection. He often blends problem-solving with mindfully chosen behaviors so that new habits become part of everyday life. When someone is unsure where to start, Michael helps prioritize what will make the biggest difference first.
