About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience practicing in Kentucky. He lists LCSW and LICSW credentials and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD and more.
He uses straightforward, problem-focused work. Sessions begin with information gathering to understand the person’s history and current struggles. Philip emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions and helps them notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to manage symptoms, clarify values, and build skills for coping and decision making. Expect structured conversations, simple experiments, and skills practice rather than long abstract talks.
Philip trained later in life, earning a Master of Social Work after an earlier career, and brings both professional and personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges. He has practiced across several states and describes work that looks at living conditions, physical wellness, relationships, thoughts, past experiences, emotions, and life purpose when deciding what to focus on.
Initial sessions are focused on collecting key information and setting practical goals. Office-hour appointments are generally offered Monday to Friday from morning to early evening Eastern Time, with past flexibility for scheduling needs. He requests that people complete the intake steps before scheduling a first session.
How his CBT and ACT work in online settings
Philip uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try new responses. CBT sessions focus on identifying specific thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or sleep troubles.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide actions that matter to the person. ACT supports decision making when people feel stuck or overwhelmed and pairs acceptance strategies with goal-directed behavior. Client-centered methods mean conversations pay attention to the person’s goals and lived experience rather than a fixed script.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip reviews concerns and preferences during the initial visit and suggests which methods to prioritize. He invites feedback and adjusts the plan if a particular way of working doesn’t fit the client’s goals.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
