Philip Bloomer , LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer is a licensed clinical social worker with advanced credentials - LCSW and LICSW - reflecting clinical social work licensure that enables independent practice. He provides care for people of all ages facing mental health and substance use difficulties, and he has also worked with couples and families to address relational challenges. His approach is broad and integrative, attending to how living environment, physical wellness, relationships, thought patterns, past experiences, emotions, and a sense of meaning all interact to shape a person's life.

Philip emphasizes a nonjudgmental, straightforward therapeutic stance and believes in the possibility of meaningful change for everyone. He draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy - tailoring interventions to help people manage current problems, clarify what matters to them, and move toward their goals.

Born and raised in England and having spent the first thirty years of his life there, Philip carried a first career in the British government before returning to pursue social work. He earned a Master of Social Work at age 40 and brings both academic training and lived experience to his practice, including personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges. Philip maintains licensure in multiple states, has experience working across diverse issues, and welcomes sharing his professional perspective with those seeking support. He is not accepting clients at this time.

Philip works in English and integrates life experience, clinical training, and practical strategies to support people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, self-esteem and career questions, ADHD and bipolar concerns, and other complex life changes.

Could Virtual Sessions Fit Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a licensed professional in the format that feels most comfortable - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which often makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life.

Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote formats, and people can change therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many, online therapy offers an accessible way to begin or continue therapeutic work while maintaining the same focus on goals, coping strategies, and personal growth that in-person therapy provides.
