About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram offers focused help for people struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She is a licensed professional counselor with six years of clinical experience and practices from Connecticut.
Her approach aims to help people manage intense feelings and find clearer ways to cope with life changes. She uses practical, talk-based work paired with skills training. Many clients learn simple tools to lower emotional intensity, handle conflict, and reduce avoidant habits.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Dr. Chetram draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and a person’s sense of self. These methods are blended to fit what each person brings to sessions. Her background includes supporting people facing trauma, grief, domestic violence, mood dysregulation, and addiction.
She also helps with parenting stress, career transitions, chronic illness challenges, and questions about identity and relationships. Her work emphasizes building coping skills and clearer communication. Sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving, and time to process painful memories.
The goal is to leave with practical steps to manage emotions and move toward valued goals. People who seek a straightforward, supportive clinician often find this style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that matter to the client and builds small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. This means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer session work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or screens are tiring. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill practice, or when a flexible schedule is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or while traveling, and let licensed professionals offer consistent care across distances.
