About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for families and parenting concerns. He speaks plainly and works to make sessions feel manageable for a busy parent. He aims to be straightforward and nonjudgmental while helping people find steps that actually fit their life.
Philip uses conversation and goal-focused exercises to help with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship strains. He pays attention to daily routines, physical wellness, and relationships because those things shape how a family functions.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve identifying what matters most and small changes that move a family toward those goals. He has 11 years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LICSW credentials. Philip trained later in life, earning a Master’s degree in social work after a first career, and he draws on a wide range of life experience in his work.
He has personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges, which informs his practical approach. Initial sessions focus on gathering information and creating a simple plan. Philip typically works within weekday office hours but has adapted schedules when needed.
He aims to help clients clarify priorities, reduce daily stress, and build clearer communication patterns at home. Philip practices in Kentucky and offers sessions in English. He uses a mix of therapy styles to match each family's needs and helps parents and caregivers find realistic strategies they can use between meetings.
How Philip uses therapy methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions toward them. It can help with stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by shifting attention toward what matters most rather than only trying to remove difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace; this approach supports people who need a safe space to talk through family or parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip treats the choice of methods as a collaboration - he will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That way sessions stay relevant to a client’s needs and their family life.
Online therapy with Philip uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. These options provide flexibility for parents and caregivers, reduce travel time, and let people use the format that works best for them while keeping treatment focused on practical changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
