About Philip

Philip Bloomer offers therapy rooted in practical problem-solving and personal meaning for people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strains, grief, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

He centers the work on each individual’s values and goals, helping clients identify what matters to them and take steps toward those aims while attending to day-to-day coping skills and emotional regulation.

With 11 years of clinical experience and credentials as an LCSW and LICSW, Philip brings a social work perspective that considers the full context of a person’s life - relationships, physical wellness, work, and past experiences all influence current difficulties.

He draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He is based in Kentucky and offers sessions during standard weekday hours, aiming to be direct, nonjudgmental, and honest while encouraging realistic change.

Philip also speaks from lived experience with mental health and substance use challenges, which informs a compassionate, pragmatic approach. New clients begin with an information-rich intake so treatment can focus on meaningful goals, practical steps, and writing the next chapter of their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Philip commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy features throughout his work as well, providing empathic listening and a respectful, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their lives.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess what feels most helpful based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and adjusts methods over time rather than adhering rigidly to one model. The therapeutic plan is shaped together so it fits the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work or family commitments and allow continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like CBT, ACT, and client-centered techniques effectively in virtual settings to keep work focused and practical.
