Terri Bassi-Cook, LPC

Terri Bassi-Cook is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, aging issues, and isolation. Terri approaches work with empathy and respect for identity and background.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens, offers nonjudgmental observations, and asks questions to help clients zero in on what matters most to them. Terri emphasizes how thoughts shape reactions and daily life.

She uses practical techniques to reshape unhelpful thinking and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns that fuel worry or low mood. Solution-focused work helps set small, achievable steps toward change. Motivational interviewing supports people struggling with addiction or readiness for change.

Terri also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-standing patterns that repeat in relationships and self-view. That background can be useful when current problems link back to family of origin or past losses. Every plan is tailored to the person in front of her.

People who choose Terri can expect steady, straightforward guidance and an emphasis on what the client wants to achieve. She works with a broad range of concerns including LGBT issues, trauma, sleeping problems, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

How Terri blends approaches for online care

Terri uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals, which can be especially helpful when adjusting to health challenges or life changes.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and coping with chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Terri will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single style.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins around work or caregiving responsibilities. Different formats can also let people choose less bandwidth-intensive options or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
