About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and mood concerns. She offers steady support for those navigating life changes and complicated emotions.
Dr. Chetram practices in Connecticut and works with individuals who want practical tools and clearer direction. She favors straightforward conversations and a strengths-based style.
Sessions focus on skills you can use between appointments, like managing strong feelings and improving communication. She listens with respect and then tailors a plan that fits each person’s goals and situation.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-oriented practices, attachment perspectives, and dialectical skills. That mix lets her match strategies to things like trauma reactions, addiction patterns, or difficulties with connection and trust. The therapy room is used to try small changes and notice what helps.
Dr. Chetram holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and brings six years of clinical experience. She has supported people dealing with domestic violence, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, and disruptive mood challenges among other concerns.
Those experiences inform how she plans care. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

Approach and online care that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions around parenting and life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape expectations and responses; it can help people manage trust, closeness, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending techniques across approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to continue care when travel or schedules change.
