About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram is an LPC with six years of clinical experience based in Connecticut. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, codependency, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Dr. Chetram takes an interactive, strength-based approach in sessions. She focuses on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than labels. People can expect a mix of evidence-informed techniques aimed at improving day-to-day coping, communication, and emotional regulation.
Her background includes work with domestic abuse and family violence survivors, people with mood dysregulation, and those navigating complex relationship difficulties. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns and emotion management.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and make purposeful choices. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current connections.
Dr. Chetram aims to build a collaborative plan for each person. She encourages small, manageable steps such as setting firmer boundaries, practicing new communication habits, or trying brief behavioral experiments. The focus is on useful changes that fit everyday life rather than on jargon or long-term programs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can help when someone feels stuck or keeps putting others first instead of making choices that reflect their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT work often includes concrete tasks such as testing unhelpful beliefs, practicing new responses, and tracking results between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean identifying repeating dynamics in partnerships and trying different ways of relating in day-to-day life.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you pick methods that match your goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as you go. That collaborative process helps make practical progress and keeps sessions focused on real-life change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them work with a licensed professional from a different location.
