01About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, anger, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Connecticut and brings six years of experience to her work.
Her focus also includes concerns such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, codependency, and eating or substance-related problems. She uses a direct but compassionate style in sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person’s life. Her approach draws from several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
She aims to tailor these methods to each person's needs rather than applying a single fixed plan. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental setting where the therapist helps them set clear, manageable steps. Sessions often include learning new ways of coping, improving communication, and practicing strategies between meetings.
Dr. Chetram works with people facing complex situations like domestic violence, disruptive mood concerns, and blended family challenges. She also supports parents navigating adoption or foster-care issues and people adjusting to chronic pain or health problems.
Her goal is to help people move toward steadier emotional footing and clearer daily routines.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems where worry or avoidance get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with trust, communication, and parenting-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. That may mean combining elements from ACT, CBT, and attachment work and adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports shorter check-ins or gradual sharing. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and continue work during life transitions.
