About Blake
Blake Passmore is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana who draws on 33 years of experience to help people navigate relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
He combines practical coaching skills with therapy to support clients working through intimacy-related challenges, anger, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, and questions about purpose and identity. Blake emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about difficult emotions and complex family dynamics including adoption, foster care, divorce, and communication problems.
His approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and solution-focused strategies to tailor work to each person's needs. Blake often integrates coaching techniques to build motivation and confidence while addressing control issues, guilt and shame, and midlife concerns.
He recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and encourages prospective clients to take the first step toward clearer goals and improved coping skills.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Blake uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behavior. This approach often focuses on changing thoughts and actions in ways that produce measurable improvements in day-to-day functioning.He also applies client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathy and collaborative listening so people feel heard and respected as they explore values, relationships, and personal goals. Solution-focused therapy complements these methods by concentrating on immediate strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes, which works well for problem-solving and coaching-oriented goals.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, review goals, and adjust techniques over time so the method fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access support between meetings, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
