Remote collaboration with assessment and ongoing planning
Dr. Ott’s online work centers on an initial, thorough assessment to identify priorities and build a shared plan. That first stage focuses on understanding immediate concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting needs, or chronic health impacts, and on defining concrete steps that fit the person or family.
Another documented element of his practice is regular progress monitoring and adjustment. Sessions include periodic reviews of how well the plan is working and collaborative decisions about refinements so goals remain relevant as situations change. This process-oriented emphasis helps clarify whether more focus is needed on areas like communication, caregiver stress, or transitions to adulthood.
