Blake Passmore, LCPC

Blake Passmore is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 33 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for relationship strains, low self-esteem, depression, anger, grief, and major life shifts. Blake also brings life coaching perspectives into sessions to help clients move from stuck to action.

Blake keeps sessions straightforward and personal. He creates a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment. Conversations cover what’s happening now and what someone wants to change next.

Blake uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means he helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, build small practical changes, and use their own goals to guide work between sessions. Sessions often mix talking, problem-solving, and simple exercises to try at home.

He routinely supports people dealing with parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, control issues, and separation or divorce. Blake also addresses fatherhood issues, midlife questions, and men’s concerns with plain language and direct guidance.

Many clients come for short-term coaching-style work and for longer support through grief or shifting life roles. Blake aims to help people find clearer choices, restore confidence, and take steps toward a more manageable everyday life.

How these approaches work online

Blake uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT often includes brief exercises and clear goals, which translate well to video or messaging sessions for work between meetings.

He also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's pace. That approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them during online conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. Sessions can shift over time between practical problem-solving and deeper talking as required.

Online sessions offer real practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule on busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short coaching prompts, or follow-up between longer sessions. All formats are intended to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
