Blake Passmore, LCPC - Therapist in Montana

About Blake

Blake Passmore is a licensed clinical professional counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. He uses straightforward conversation and tools to address relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and challenges connected to life transitions. Blake speaks plainly and encourages people to take the first step toward change.

He notes that starting therapy can take courage and aims to make that step easier. Blake has 33 years of professional experience and practices in Montana.

Background and approach

He combines counseling skills with professional life coaching to support people working through communication problems, control issues, and motivation challenges. He also addresses parenting concerns, adoption and foster care matters, fatherhood issues, and difficulties around divorce and separation. In sessions he emphasizes listening without judgment and helping clients name practical next steps.

He draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful environment and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps him guide short-term goal setting and concrete changes people can try between meetings. Blake frames work as a collaboration where the person sets priorities and he offers feedback, structure, and coaching.

He is comfortable talking about guilt, shame, forgiveness, life purpose, midlife transitions, and men's issues. His tone is direct but supportive, with an emphasis on actions that fit everyday life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session according to availability.

How Blake’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what can be done now to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Blake will help figure out which combination of listening, thought-work, and goal-setting fits a person’s needs and preferences. He treats therapy as a collaboration where the client’s priorities guide each step and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and practical needs, helping people stay engaged with the work no matter where they are.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
