About Terri
Terri Bassi-Cook is an LPC who has practiced therapy in Pennsylvania for 36 years. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, and challenges related to LGBT identity. Terri aims to listen closely, notice patterns without judgment, and help people focus on what matters most to them.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She helps people separate a problem from how they think about it, since thoughts often shape feelings and behavior. In sessions she asks questions, offers observations, and works with each person to reshape unhelpful views.
Terri uses a mix of practical approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change thinking patterns. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at deeper life stories and solution-focused steps to set concrete goals. Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change.
Sessions emphasize teamwork and clear goals. Terri helps people make small, realistic changes that fit their daily life. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic health problems, blended family issues, hearing impairment, and veteran-related concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and hopeful. She encourages people to try new ways of thinking and to keep faith in their strengths. If someone wants a plan tailored to their needs, she aims to build it together.
How Terri’s approaches fit online therapy
Terri commonly uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and motivational interviewing. Client-centered work focuses on listening, valuing the person’s experience, and shaping goals together. It helps when someone needs steady support and a therapist who follows their lead. Cognitive behavioral work looks at how thoughts influence feelings and habits and offers practical steps to change those patterns. That approach can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and low mood. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful for addiction or when someone feels stuck.Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues evolve or progress is made.
