Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood ups and downs, and relationship challenges. He speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person. He aims to help people move toward clearer goals and healthier patterns in daily life.

Philip works from a broad social work perspective. He looks at life as a whole - where someone lives, physical health, relationships, thinking patterns, past experiences, and sources of meaning. Therapy focuses on practical steps, managing problems, and identifying what a person wants next. Sessions include information gathering at the start so treatment matches real needs.

He uses several common approaches to help people make change. Those methods guide conversations about coping, motivation, values, and behavior. Philip says he never judges and that honesty is part of the work together.

Philip brings both formal training and life experience to his work. He returned to school later in life to earn a Master’s degree in Social Work and has lived and worked in multiple places, including early years in England and later practice in the U.S. He has personal experience with mental health and substance use recovery, which informs his understanding of those struggles.

He maintains weekday office-hour appointments, typically Monday to Friday 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and has accommodated scheduling needs before. The first visit collects information to shape a plan and next steps for therapy.

How his approaches translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and direction are concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring ambivalence and building motivation for change, often helpful with substance use and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Philip will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and he adjusts the work in response to progress and feedback.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Philip aims to help people use therapy in ways that fit their daily life and responsibilities.
