Philip Bloomer

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience. He welcomes people who are stressed, anxious, coping with addiction, grieving, or facing major life changes. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and issues related to identity and self‑esteem.

Philip draws on practical, down‑to‑earth methods in sessions. He asks a lot of questions at the first visit so he can understand your story and what you want to change. He speaks plainly and won’t judge; clients can expect honest feedback as they work toward clearer goals.

He uses several approaches in his work, including acceptance and commitment methods, client‑centered listening, and cognitive behavioral ideas. Philip also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice thoughts, make values‑based choices, and build useful habits.

Philip trained later in life, earning a Master’s degree in Social Work after a first career in public service. He brings both academic knowledge and personal experience with mental health and substance use struggles to his practice. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials in the region and practices in Kentucky.

Sessions are arranged during weekday office hours, and he has accommodated alternative scheduling in the past. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit that focuses on gathering information and planning next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Philip often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. ACT helps when clients feel stuck by shifting attention from unhelpful thoughts to meaningful behavior.

He also uses Client‑Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person in front of him. That style supports people who need a calm, honest space to talk and make sense of their life story.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip treats approach choice as a collaboration and will help you decide what methods fit your goals and preferences. He adapts techniques based on what is useful during early sessions and what you want to focus on over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed, and offer alternatives when on‑site visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use different ways to meet; check available formats and schedule to match what fits your routine.
