About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of clinical experience based in Connecticut.
Sessions are offered in English and she sees international clients as well. Her style is direct and collaborative. She focuses on each person's strengths and works with clients to create practical steps for change.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely, offers tools that can be practiced between meetings, and checks in on what is and isn't working. Dr. Chetram draws from several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and dialectical behavior strategies.
She tailors these methods to fit the concerns someone brings, rather than following a single formula. People can expect a mix of talk, skills practice, and problem-solving. Therapy often includes learning ways to manage intense emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and clarifying personal values or relationship goals.
Progress is measured by small, concrete changes that matter in daily life. Sessions are delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can be helpful for relationship strain and parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then blend methods that fit those needs. This is a cooperative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy routine and maintain continuity through life changes.
