About Philip
Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience helping people who struggle with sleep, stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and many other concerns. He talks plainly and aims to make the first visit feel manageable. He listens without judgment and helps people figure out practical next steps for daily life.
He draws on life experience alongside formal training. Philip earned a Master of Social Work later in life and previously worked in public service in England. That background shapes a broad view of problems - not just symptoms but the home, relationships, routines, and values that shape everyday wellbeing.
In sessions he gathers information up front so the work that follows is realistic and tailored. He uses a mix of methods, including acceptance and commitment approaches, client-centered listening, cognitive behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That blend is used to help people manage symptoms, clarify what matters most, and make steady changes.
Philip aims to help people with sleep and rest concerns by looking at habits, thoughts, stress, and routines that interfere with rest. He also supports people facing trauma, addiction, relationship and parenting challenges, and job or identity stressors. Conversations focus on what can be tried between sessions and what fits a person’s daily life.
He offers weekday daytime appointments in Kentucky and works in English. The first visit is mostly about gathering information and setting goals so the next steps are clear and practical.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Philip commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that match their values. This can be useful for worries, motivation issues, and improving sleep routines.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems alive. CBT techniques often include simple experiments, habit adjustments, and strategies to manage sleep and stress between visits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, circumstances, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps set clear, achievable steps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new habits in the context of their everyday routines while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
