About Terri
Terri Bassi-Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, addiction, and life changes. Sessions are described as collaborative and focused on practical thinking and problem-solving.
Terri uses a client-centered approach, which means she works with people to clarify what matters most to them. She listens, offers observations without judgment, and asks questions that bring attention to how someone thinks about their problems. She emphasizes that the way a person interprets a situation often changes how they feel and act.
Her work also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. That can be useful for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to change habits, such as substance use or sticking with a plan.
Terri incorporates solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the client's goals. Solution-focused techniques support setting small, concrete goals. Psychodynamic material is used when understanding past patterns helps with current behavior and relationships.
She mentions support for many life areas, including parenting stresses, caregiver strain, communication problems, and issues tied to aging or chronic illness. Sessions are offered in English and are intended to be collaborative. To begin, the process involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals and next steps can be discussed.
How sessions work
How Terri’s approaches translate to online work
Terri uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the individual. That approach means questions and reflections guide the conversation so goals become clearer. It fits issues like relationship strain, identity concerns, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a core tool. CBT looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. It is commonly used for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change. It uses reflective questions to strengthen motivation and create small, doable steps toward new habits, which can be helpful for addiction or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify what methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion shapes an initial plan and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy week. If you need to ask about formats, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make short check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or guided skills practice easier to fit into daily life without major travel.
