About Philip

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. Philip speaks English and practices in Kentucky as a LCSW and LICSW.

Philip approaches problems by looking at the whole of a person's life. He asks about work, relationships, health, and past experiences to understand what is keeping someone stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps - learning skills to manage symptoms, clarifying what matters most, and setting small goals clients can try between visits.

He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to help people change habits, face difficult emotions, and build more satisfying daily routines.

Philip draws on both professional training and personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges. He completed a Master’s degree in Social Work later in life and brings a direct, nonjudgmental style to sessions. Clients can expect honesty, practical guidance, and steady support.

Initial visits include information gathering to map out goals and next steps. Philip typically schedules standard office-hour appointments Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, while sometimes accommodating special scheduling needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being driven by them and to take action that aligns with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective, with the therapist offering empathy and support while clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they plan what to try in sessions and what to practice between meetings so progress feels manageable and relevant.

Session format options are not specified in this profile, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to continue therapy during life changes, and the same therapeutic approaches can be used effectively when delivered remotely by a licensed professional.
