01About Terri
Terri Bassi-Cook is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She works in a straightforward, collaborative way and listens closely to what matters to each person. Terri emphasizes practical change over jargon and helps clients identify the thoughts that get in the way of feeling better.
Her style is client-centered, which means she partners with clients to set goals and plans that fit their life.
Background and approach
She uses everyday conversation, observations, and targeted questions to help people see patterns in how they think about problems. That shift in thinking is often where progress begins. Terri also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and reframe unhelpful thoughts, and on solution-focused techniques to build small, manageable steps toward change.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs extra support finding reasons to change. She can also use psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns that influence current behavior. She has worked with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy and parenting struggles, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and aging-related stress.
Terri is open to conversations about sexual orientation and identity and supports LGBT concerns without judgment. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Terri aims to create a steady, practical path forward so clients can try new ways of coping and regain more ease in daily life.

Approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and values and building a plan that fits their life. It centers the client's experience and uses active listening and reflective questions to help people clarify what they want to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps identify unhelpful thinking, then practices new ways of thinking and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.
Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person's own reasons for taking steps toward recovery or healthier habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. This collaboration helps decide whether to focus on thought patterns, practical steps, or motivational work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for shorter updates, homework, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward meaningful change.
