About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of clinical experience. Her style is practical and compassionate, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
She works with people facing depression, anger, grief, parenting challenges, career changes, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Codependency and attachment difficulties are listed among her focus areas, and she also supports those coping with chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and substance-related problems.
Her approach is interactive and strength-based. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and ways to change unhelpful patterns. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques.
In practice she emphasizes respect, warmth, and collaboration. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. The aim is steady progress through small, practical steps that fit a person’s life.
Dr. Chetram practices in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, people use the platform’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter even when emotions are hard to manage, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns like avoidance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It is useful when mood swings, anger, or impulsive behaviors interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can reduce travel time and allow appointments around work or caregiving. Some people choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or audio-only sessions when less bandwidth is available. Because specific session formats were not listed in the original biography, confirm the clinician’s current online options before booking.
