OT Goal-Setting Starts With What Matters to You

The New Year often brings pressure to set goals that sound impressive or productive. More
exercise. Better habits. Big changes. At Moxie OT, we take pride in approaching goal-setting
differently—because occupational therapy is not about checking boxes. It is about supporting
people in living meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Occupational therapy begins with a simple but powerful question: What matters to you?
Whether therapy happens in a home, a clinic, a school, or the community, OT is effective
because it is rooted in real life. Goals are not chosen because they look good on paper; they are
chosen because they support the routines, roles, and activities that are important to you.

At Moxie OT, we build goals around your everyday experiences. That might mean reducing
stress during daily routines, rebuilding confidence after illness or injury, supporting
independence with self-care or meal preparation, or helping you return to activities that make
you feel like yourself. These goals are meaningful because they reflect your life—not a generic
checklist.

We are proud of occupational therapy’s ability to adapt to any setting. OT works because it meets
people where they are—physically, emotionally, and practically. As a mobile practice, Moxie OT
brings therapy directly into the spaces where life happens, allowing us to create goals that are
functional, flexible, and immediately relevant. At the same time, our work reflects the broader
strength of OT across all environments, from clinics and schools to homes and communities.
Goals in occupational therapy are never static. Life changes, priorities shift, and energy levels
vary. We see goal-setting as a collaborative, evolving process—one that honors progress without
demanding perfection.

As you enter the New Year, we invite you to think differently about goals. Instead of asking,
“What should I fix?” consider asking, “What would help me participate more fully in my
life?”

At Moxie OT, we are proud to support that journey—no matter the setting, no matter the starting
point. Reach out today!
