Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 11 years of experience to therapy. He offers straightforward, nonjudgmental care and talks with people about what matters to them. Philip keeps an honest approach and focuses on practical steps that can help day to day.

Philip looks at life as a whole. He pays attention to relationships, physical wellness, thinking patterns, past experiences, and what gives a person meaning. Sessions include information gathering at first so he can tailor work to each person's situation and goals. He aims to help people figure out what they want and how to move toward it.

His background includes a Master of Social Work earned after a first career in public service. He has personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges, which informs a down-to-earth perspective in session. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in Kentucky.

Philip uses a mix of practical methods, including cognitive-behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. That means sessions often focus on noticing thought patterns, choosing values-based actions, and building small skills that make daily life easier.

He offers appointments during standard weekday hours and can accommodate scheduling needs when possible. The initial session gathers details so future meetings stay focused and useful. Philip welcomes people who want honest, practical conversation about change.

How Philip uses evidence-based approaches online

Philip uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often targets anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems with practical exercises and skill building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and encourage actions that matter to the person while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. He also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring the pace and goals to each person's needs.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Philip will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and help choose which methods to try. He treats the process as collaborative, adjusting methods based on what is helpful and what the person wants to focus on.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief coaching, check-ins, or when a written record helps reflection. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a consistent plan of care.
