About Terri

Terri Bassi-Cook is an LPC with 36 years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy from a client-centered stance, building a collaborative working relationship that emphasizes listening, concrete observations, and questions designed to clarify what matters most to the individual. Her practice also addresses intimacy issues, sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress.

Drawing on a blend of evidence-informed methods, Terri helps clients examine both the problems they face and the thoughts that shape their reactions. She works to identify unhelpful or inaccurate beliefs and to reconstruct perspectives that support healthier choices and greater resilience.

People who work with her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where identity, background, and life circumstances are met with acceptance while practical goals and personalized plans are developed together.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help

Terri uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship where the client’s priorities guide the work; this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting personal growth which can help with stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and other practical issues by teaching skills for more adaptive responses. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which is useful for challenges like addictions or making lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions remain relevant and focused on measurable steps toward improvement.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and adjust the mode of communication as therapy progresses while working with licensed professionals.
