About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Connecticut with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and related issues such as self-esteem and career stress. Her profile notes a focus on social anxiety and phobia among other areas clients bring to therapy.
She uses a practical, interactive approach in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying concrete strategies to change them. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies to help people notice thoughts and respond differently.
Her work also attends to attachment-related concerns and how early relationships influence current struggles. That perspective is useful when abandonment, adoption and foster care history, or attachment issues are part of the concern. She also has experience with substance use, domestic violence impacts, mood dysregulation, and chronic illness influences on mental health.
Dr. Chetram describes using dialectical skills for emotional regulation and client-centered listening to follow each person's priorities. The bio lists several approaches she draws from, and she blends these to address the problem at hand rather than using a single method.
To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching steps to schedule a first session. She accepts international clients and holds her LPC credential in Connecticut.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with personal values. It often focuses on small steps that reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people recognize and adjust relational patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also means techniques from ACT, CBT, and attachment work can be practiced between meetings in everyday settings, and the therapist can help adapt exercises to whatever setup the client uses.
