About Terri
Terri Bassi-Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 36 years of experience based in Pennsylvania. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her manner is collaborative and straightforward.
She listens, asks clear questions, and offers observations without judgment. Terri practices client-centered care that keeps each person’s goals in focus. She contrasts the problem itself with how a person thinks about it, because changing unhelpful thinking can change outcomes.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize identifying thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking that fit the client’s life. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot practical patterns that feed distress and to build alternative habits. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help with change, like managing substance use or strengthening healthy routines.
Solution-focused elements help clients break big concerns into small, doable steps. Her background spans many concerns including trauma, parenting, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging. Terri works with people across sexual orientations and identities and makes space for different lived experiences.
Her approach blends long experience with straightforward, practical steps. Sessions are offered in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Approaches and how online sessions support them
Terri uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them. It is helpful for many issues including stress, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That approach breaks down unhelpful patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift thinking and daily habits. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terri will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send thoughts between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
