Terri Bassi-Cook, LPC

Terri Bassi-Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship worries, addiction concerns, and the changes that come with aging. Terri works in a collaborative, client-centered way and aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them.

Her approach begins with listening and asking clear questions to find what matters most to each person. She pays attention to how people think about their problems and helps them test beliefs that hold them back. That might mean looking at patterns from the past, spotting habits that make stress worse, or setting small goals to change daily routines.

Terri uses several practical methods including cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts, motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, and solution-focused techniques to set clear next steps. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring patterns that affect relationships and well-being.

She supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, hearing challenges, isolation, and issues tied to family of origin or blended family dynamics. Terri also assists those dealing with intimacy, parenting concerns, anger, bipolar mood management, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are delivered in line with the service model used by the practice. People who want to begin select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Terri practices in Pennsylvania and works in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead. It helps people clarify values, set goals, and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. That might mean trying CBT techniques for a few sessions, then shifting to solution-focused steps, or using psychodynamic ideas to track long-standing patterns that affect relationships.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since those options are set by the practice. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, cut travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to coordinate care when managing caregiver responsibilities or chronic illness. The therapist will work with clients to shape sessions so they fit daily life and the goals they want to reach.
