Blake Passmore

Blake Passmore is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 33 years of experience. He practices in Montana and focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationships, anger, self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Blake aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what matters most to each person.

Blake blends client-centered ways of working with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He listens closely, helps identify patterns that get in the way, and then collaborates on specific, manageable steps to change them.

Many people come for help with parenting concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, or issues around fatherhood. Others seek coaching for motivation, life purpose, or career shifts. Blake also supports people dealing with grief, guilt, shame, and struggles with intimacy.

His approach emphasizes clarity and simple skills. Clients can expect concrete strategies to try between sessions and regular check-ins to see what is working. He wants therapy to fit into everyday life, not add more stress.

Blake works in English and is licensed in Montana as an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person to scheduling and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Blake combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting, nonjudgmental space where a person can speak freely and shape the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what a person wants to see different sooner rather than later.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by asking about immediate concerns, goals, and daily routines. Together they will test approaches and adjust the plan based on what helps most, balancing long-term change with short-term wins.

If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. It also lets people use approaches like CBT exercises and solution-focused goal setting in the context of their everyday environment, which can help with practicing new skills between sessions.
