About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut and works with issues such as depression, anger, grief, parenting concerns, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She takes a straightforward, supportive approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is creating pain now and on small steps that can make daily life easier. She draws on several methods to match the way a person prefers to work and to fit the problem at hand.
How Sursatie works
Dr. Chetram values a respectful and compassionate space. She centers clients' strengths and asks practical questions about goals and routines.
This helps turn overwhelming problems into clear, manageable tasks that feel possible to try between sessions. Her practice blends evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance-based work, and attachment-focused ideas. She also uses client-centered techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional coping and communication tools.
With six years of clinical experience, Dr. Chetram helps people address concerns including addiction, family and relationship difficulties, and mood disorders like bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation. Sessions are available in English and international clients may be seen according to scheduling and format preferences.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward a valued life. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and encourage choices that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into steps, teaches practical skills, and often uses short exercises between sessions to build new habits for managing mood and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills offer concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they adjust the plan so sessions feel useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
