About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 11 years of practice. He provides therapy for adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other issues such as ADHD and grief. Philip practices in Kentucky and offers services in English.
Philip approaches therapy in a practical, down-to-earth way. He asks a lot of questions at the first visit to map out what is going on across different parts of life - work, relationships, physical health, and past experiences. Sessions focus on understanding current patterns and identifying steps a person can take to change unhelpful habits.
He uses a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches shape how he helps people manage symptoms, set goals, and test new behaviors between sessions. He also draws on life experience, including personal recovery, when relevant to the work.
Philip pays attention to how family of origin and attachment issues influence present relationships and choices. He will talk through family roles, boundaries, closeness, and expectations and how these continue to affect daily life. The aim is to help people make clearer decisions and practical changes rather than label their past.
Practical details are discussed early on, such as scheduling and fees. Philip has worked across several U.S. states and brings both academic training and varied life experience to his practice. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change, often useful for addictions and ambivalence about change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The therapist frames work as testing small changes and tracking what actually makes life better rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options should be checked directly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Some methods lend themselves to brief skill practice between sessions, which can be convenient for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
