About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood changes, and relationship strain. He works with individuals to sort through problems and figure out what matters to them. He aims to be direct and nonjudgmental while helping people make practical changes in daily life.
He draws on 11 years of clinical experience and on life experience, including personal recovery from mental health and substance use struggles. He earned a Master’s degree in Social Work after a first career with the British government and now practices in Kentucky. Philip uses straightforward conversation to gather information and build a plan that fits each person’s situation.
Philip blends several therapy approaches to match a person’s needs. He often focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, increasing present-moment awareness, and clarifying values and goals. Sessions involve working through problems, identifying steps people can take, and tracking progress over time.
He pays attention to the whole context of a person’s life - relationships, physical health, living situation, and past experiences. This broader view shapes treatment choices and practical suggestions. The initial session emphasizes information gathering so future sessions are focused and useful.
People coming to Philip can expect honest feedback and a respectful, steady presence. He welcomes life stories and helps people plan the next chapter with realistic, achievable steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
Philip commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while allowing difficult thoughts and feelings to exist. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and reactions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that match their goals, preferences, and what actually helps in day-to-day life. Sessions can evolve as needs change and the therapist will suggest adjustments based on progress and feedback.
