Paul Booth, LMFT, LPC

Paul Booth is a licensed therapist with more than three decades of clinical experience working in California and Tennessee. He holds credentials as an LMFT and an LPC - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor - and is also a Nationally Certified Masters Addiction Counselor. Over 32 years he has developed a broad practice focused on addictions, ketamine and psychedelic integration, stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, motivation, and self-esteem concerns.

Paul works with clients across a range of life challenges including chronic pain and illness, control issues, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, and mood disorders. He emphasizes a nonjudgmental, open atmosphere where thoughts and emotions can be expressed freely and explored collaboratively. That environment supports practical coping strategies and longer-term insight tailored to each person’s situation.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Paul acknowledges that first step while guiding clients toward achievable goals. He provides support for both immediate concerns and deeper personal work, adapting his approach to fit each client’s needs and preferences. Paul accepts international clients and offers multiple remote ways to engage in therapy for greater flexibility.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Paul Booth offers focused support in a few core, evidence-based areas that align with his experience. Psychedelic integration work involves helping clients process and make meaning of experiences related to ketamine or other psychedelic-assisted sessions; this approach supports understanding insights, managing emotions that arise, and integrating changes into daily life. Addiction-focused counseling centers on strategies to reduce harmful use, build motivation for change, and strengthen relapse prevention skills, tailored to the individual’s stage of recovery. Stress and anxiety management uses practical techniques to reduce overwhelm, improve sleep patterns, and increase coping capacity for everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paul collaborates with each client to identify priorities, consider past experiences, and select methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and workable for the client.

Online therapy adds flexibility to this work. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access therapy from different locations and on varied schedules. Licensed professionals can deliver many of the same supportive, evidence-informed interventions remotely, making it easier for clients to maintain consistency and fit therapy into busy lives.
