About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Connecticut with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes.
She describes a practical, interactive style in session. Conversations focus on problems that are getting in the way of daily life and on small steps that can reduce distress. She draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions and patterns that repeat.
Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening are part of her approach. That means exploring how past relationships affect current trust, communication, and connection. Sessions include reflective discussion and exercises aimed at changing unhelpful patterns over time.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps, and she can include other methods she finds useful for a person’s situation. The focus is on practical change rather than technical labels.
People often come for help after big life shifts - leaving home, job changes, relationship endings, or painful losses. Dr. Chetram accepts clients from within and outside the United States and works in English. To begin, visitors follow the site match process to schedule an initial meeting.
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practicing concrete skills to change them; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video or audio sessions can be chosen for different reasons - lower bandwidth needs, less screen time, or a quicker phone-style conversation - so people can pick what works with their daily life.
