About Philip

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) with 11 years of experience who works from a broad, life-centered perspective.

Background and approach

He sees how relationships, physical wellness, thinking patterns, past experiences, and personal values all interact, and he helps clients untangle those connections to move toward goals they find meaningful. Philip’s background includes lived experience with mental health and substance use challenges, which he integrates with formal training to offer practical, empathetic support.

His approach mixes evidence-based techniques and client-centered care, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Philip has provided support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy, sleep, parenting, and self-esteem.

He also addresses more specific areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, and caregiver stress. Based in Kentucky, Philip meets with clients during standard weekday hours and offers several online session formats.

Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability, allowing work to begin on practical steps and meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed actions toward a life that matters to them, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can be effective for mood, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with stress. Mindfulness-based practices teach present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of experience, offering tools to manage emotional reactivity and increase resilience.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will listen to a client’s goals, preferences, and life context, then suggest strategies and adjust methods as progress unfolds so the plan reflects what actually helps the client move forward.

Online sessions make these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to be scheduled around work, family, and geographic constraints. This flexibility supports consistent engagement and offers multiple ways to practice skills between sessions, while licensed professionals guide the process toward practical change.
