About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eleven years of practice who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. He speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Philip aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk through problems and plan practical steps forward.
Philip draws on a range of approaches to meet people where they are. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when substance use or change readiness is an issue. His background includes a Master’s degree in Social Work earned after an earlier career in public service in England.
He is licensed in Kentucky and West Virginia as an independent clinical social worker and brings both professional training and personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges to his work. Sessions focus on practical problem solving, shaping realistic goals, and building skills for daily life.
Philip pays attention to relationships, living situations, and physical wellbeing as part of treatment, because everyday life affects how people feel. Appointments are offered during weekday hours, and he works with a range of concerns including sleep, grief, self-esteem, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD, and intimacy issues.
People who choose Philip can expect candid feedback, a nonjudgmental tone, and help turning their values into action. He invites prospective clients to share their story and set clear steps toward the change they want.
How Philip’s approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps toward those goals; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior and trying practical experiments to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, useful for trauma responses and daily stress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Philip will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn’t practical. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These choices give flexibility for scheduling and for how people want to engage in their work.
