About Sursatie

Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, anger, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem issues, and career concerns. She also addresses bipolar mood concerns and supports people coping with major life changes.

Dr. Chetram uses several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with six years of clinical experience in Connecticut.

Her work draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and aimed at practical strategies people can use between meetings. In sessions she leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult.

Attachment-based methods are part of her work when relationship patterns and early bonds matter. Dialectical behavior ideas are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills. EMDR is listed among the tools she may draw on when trauma memories are a central concern.

Her style is respectful and strengths-oriented. She aims to create a calm space for people to talk things through and to shape a plan that fits their life. Practical steps and measurable goals are part of the process for those who want clear progress markers.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel depression or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in relationships that formed early in life and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then blend methods to match those needs in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper work while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, daily skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels helpful. These options allow more flexibility with scheduling and help people keep continuity of care across locations.
