About Philip

Philip Bloomer is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a broad, life-informed perspective to therapy. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - standing for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and has practiced with people facing mental health and substance use difficulties as well as couples and families. Philip views each person in the context of their whole life, considering where they live, physical wellness, relationships, patterns of thinking, past experiences, emotions, and sources of meaning when shaping treatment.

Drawing on both academic training and extensive life experience, Philip returned to school to earn a Master of Social Work at age 40 after an earlier career working for the British government. He spent the first 30 years of his life in England and retains much of his accent. He also speaks from personal experience, having navigated his own mental health and substance use challenges, which informs a practical and empathetic approach to care.

Philip offers weekday appointments during standard office hours and begins the work with an information-rich first visit to understand each person fully. He aims to be direct, nonjudgmental, and honest, helping clients identify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward their goals. Philip looks forward to learning each client’s story and supporting the next chapter in their life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Philip Bloomer draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and committed action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported as they explore goals and identity - it often helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Philip works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what proves most helpful. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to match individual situations.

Online therapy with Philip is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family, and daily routines. These options make it easier to access regular support without long commutes and allow follow-up and continuity of care in ways that suit different schedules and comfort levels.
