Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and related concerns. He presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence and listens carefully to personal stories. Philip aims to help clients figure out what matters to them and take steps toward those goals.

He uses a broad view that considers everyday life, physical health, relationships, thinking patterns, and past experiences. Sessions focus on practical problem solving, noticing what gets in the way, and building steps toward clearer goals. Philip draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices to do that work.

Philip trained later in life, earning a Master’s degree in Social Work after a first career in public service. He has 11 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW. He also speaks from personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges, which informs how he connects with people.

He practices in Kentucky and schedules appointments during weekday office hours, with some flexibility for special needs. The first session gathers background details so later visits can focus on practical steps and goals. He encourages asking questions about approach, pacing, and what to expect in therapy.

People who want straightforward conversation and a focus on values and action may find his style helpful. Philip aims to help each person write the next chapter of their life, one clear step at a time.

How therapy approaches guide work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. It supports small, values-based actions that can reduce distress and increase meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then tries specific changes to see what helps. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to gather information and then try approaches gradually to see what actually helps.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises or worksheets during a session. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you know how sessions will be arranged.
