About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and related concerns. He works in Kentucky and brings 11 years of clinical experience to conversations about daily life and difficult moments. Philip aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk about what matters to them and what feels stuck.
Philip uses practical, goal-focused tools alongside listening and reflection.
Background and approach
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. In a session he helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and choose actions that match their values. His view as a social worker is broad: he considers relationships, living situations, physical wellness, thinking habits, and life meaning together.
He also speaks from personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges, which shapes a nonjudgmental and direct style. Philip completed a Master of Social Work and holds the LCSW and LICSW credentials. Sessions are organized to gather key information up front so therapy can focus on practical steps and longer-term goals.
Philip has supported people through grief, parenting stress, career transitions, intimacy concerns, and addiction recovery. He also helps with attachment issues, body image, and coping after loss or separation. People who prefer clear guidance, honest feedback, and collaborative planning often find his approach useful.
He invites clients to tell their story and then work on the next chapter together.
How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that line up with those values; online sessions can be used to practice those actions and review what worked. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which works well in video or phone sessions where exercises and homework can be discussed. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship, and that supportive stance carries through to chat, text, phone, and video formats.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip treats therapy as a collaboration - he will listen to your goals, try out methods together, and adjust the approach based on what helps you make progress. Clients and therapist check in regularly to decide what feels most useful and to change course when needed.
Online formats add practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can make it easier to keep momentum between scheduled talks. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, and they let clients choose the format that feels most manageable for regular sessions.
