About Terri
Terri Bassi-Cook is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, and family of origin issues. Terri also supports concerns such as parenting, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She practices client-centered therapy, which means she works collaboratively with each person to clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on how someone thinks about problems as much as the problems themselves. Terri listens, offers observations, and asks questions to help people see unhelpful patterns and consider alternatives.
Her approach also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help people change thinking and behavior in practical ways. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at long-standing patterns that started in earlier relationships. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, achievable goals and track progress.
People can expect direct, plain conversation and structured steps when those are useful. Terri helps identify thoughts and beliefs that get in the way, and then practices new ways of responding. She encourages testing different strategies and noticing what actually works in daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English in Pennsylvania. Terri does not accept international clients. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches are used in online work
Terri combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and working together to identify what matters. It helps clarify priorities and build a plan based on a person’s values and goals. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework that can be tracked between sessions. Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening reasons to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terri will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals and preferences. That choice can be revisited as progress is made and needs shift.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in day-to-day settings.
