Dr. Sursatie Chetram, LPC

Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. She also supports those working through grief, parenting challenges, mood concerns, and big life changes. Dr. Chetram practices from Connecticut and offers care in English.

She uses a practical, person-focused style that centers on strengths. Sessions are collaborative and interactive. She tailors plans to each person's needs and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space.

Dr. Chetram draws on several approaches to guide work in therapy. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and Client-Centered techniques to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. These methods are chosen to fit the issue at hand rather than a single fixed model.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. That experience includes helping people cope with domestic violence, mood dysregulation, addiction, and trauma-related concerns. The focus is on manageable steps clients can try between sessions.

In sessions she uses clear, everyday language and practical tools. Expect to talk through problems, practice coping skills, and set small goals. The aim is steady progress toward the client’s priorities.

Approaches that guide online therapy choices

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps toward them despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It often involves practicing small actions and learning to notice thoughts without getting stuck on them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to change thinking and behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured.

Please confirm the specific online session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or family. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera for some sessions. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework so progress continues even when appointments are remote.
