No therapist will change their irrational beliefs. Therapists lack such powerful capabilities.

He loves me, and he's trying, but I am having a hard time getting a grip.

What do you mean by saying that you are having a hard time getting a grip. A grip on what?
No, he is not "anything but supportive" because if he were "anything but supportive", you would not be hearing anything about your witchcraft or your not being worth his time,
even he denounces such statements. He would be filtering these things out.
You do not have any unusual insecurities to "go off on". Anybody who is being called a witch (unless they are able to apply extreme sense of humor to everything that ever touches them) would not be happy about it. This is a normal reaction and not an "insecurity".
I do not see how a therapist would be helpful to you individually, but joint couples therapy or individual therapy for him might be useful.
