Terri Bassi-Cook, LPC

Terri Bassi-Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 36 years of experience in Pennsylvania. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She listens, offers observations without judgment, and asks questions that help people focus on what matters most. Terri emphasizes how thoughts shape reactions, and she works with clients to reframe unhelpful beliefs.

In sessions she combines practical conversation with goal-focused techniques. She may use cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge thinking patterns and solution-focused ideas to set next steps. Motivational interviewing is sometimes used when clients are weighing change, and psychodynamic themes can help uncover patterns from the past.

Terri aims to create a space where identity, background, and life circumstances are respected. She partners with clients to build a plan tailored to their needs and goals. The tone is steady and hopeful, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps.

People who choose her often want clear, down-to-earth guidance and a therapist who will work with them as a team. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on Terri's availability.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Terri uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core ways to help people. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can set their own goals and find their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and it helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and use that conversation to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins during life transitions. It can also allow shorter follow-up visits or phone-based check-ins when those fit a client's schedule better. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your situation and goals.
