About Terri
Terri Bassi-Cook is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 36 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and other life changes. Terri describes her work as collaborative and practical, focusing on how people think about problems and what they do next.
She uses client-centered methods to listen, reflect, and ask questions that clarify what matters most. Terri also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques appear when people want short-term goals and clearer steps forward.
In sessions she names patterns that get in the way and offers concrete ideas to test between meetings. That might include small behavioral experiments, thought records, or goal-setting exercises. Terri emphasizes noticing responses to stress and then changing habits that prolong problems.
Her background across decades means she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including issues tied to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and substance use. Terri pays attention to how family of origin and communication problems affect current functioning and decision-making.
People should expect a straightforward, team-based approach. Terri asks questions, offers observations without judgment, and helps reconstruct views that are unhelpful. If someone is unsure about next steps, she helps map a plan with measurable actions and review points.
How her approaches translate to online work
Terri combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered stance to make sessions practical and focused. CBT helps by breaking down thoughts and habits into steps you can test. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy involves listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters so goals become actionable.Motivational Interviewing appears when someone wants to build motivation for change. It uses guided questions to resolve mixed feelings and pick a clear next step. Together these methods help create concrete plans and short experiments to try between sessions, which fits well with remote work where homework can be tracked and discussed.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to prioritize. That recommendation can change as work progresses and as short-term goals are met or revised.
