About Terri Bassi-Cook
Terri Bassi-Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 36 years of experience helping people address life’s challenges. She uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes collaboration, careful listening, nonjudgmental observation, and targeted questions to help clients identify what matters most to them.
Terri highlights the difference between the problem itself and the way a person thinks about that problem, and she works alongside clients to explore and, when needed, reconstruct beliefs that are unhelpful or inaccurate. Her work focuses on practical, attainable steps tailored to each person’s goals so individuals can regain a greater sense of balance and forward momentum.
She makes a point of welcoming people from all backgrounds and identities, and she forms therapeutic plans in partnership with each client. Terri often recalls lines from Winnie the Pooh such as 'You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think' and 'Stop worrying. Stop letting others hold you back. Work hard, take chances and keep the faith. You will never know if you never try' as reminders of the resilience clients can build through the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own perspective and strengths. In this approach the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and collaborative support to help clients clarify values, build insight, and make choices that fit their goals. It is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding and practical change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress and then test and replace unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it emphasizes skills and measurable progress.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style designed to strengthen a person's own motivation to change. It is often used when someone feels uncertain about change and benefits work involving addictions, lifestyle changes, or steps toward long-term goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terri will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
