How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Dr. Ott uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and measurable progress. One common approach is problem-focused therapy, which breaks down a concern into concrete steps and practical actions to try between sessions; this helps with stress, depression, and daily coping. Another frequently used method is trauma-informed supportive therapy, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and skills for managing strong emotions after difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client start by discussing goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Then they choose and adapt techniques collaboratively, and they revise the plan as progress and needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and options that reduce the need for high bandwidth or constant video depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
