Dr. Sursatie Chetram, LPC

Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, depression, relationship troubles, grief, parenting strain, and life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience and works with adults on issues such as bipolar mood challenges, self-esteem, career stress, and LGBT-related concerns.

In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small, steady steps toward them.

Her approach emphasizes connection and safety. Attachment-based ideas shape how she talks about relationships and early patterns that still matter today. Client-centered methods mean sessions follow each person’s pace and priorities rather than a fixed script.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. These skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. Dr. Chetram aims to tailor a plan that fits each person’s situation instead of using the same technique for everyone.

Dr. Chetram works from Connecticut and communicates in English. She accepts clients from other countries when logistics allow. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their availability.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and some addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time on a workday. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to sessions for real-time troubleshooting. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to what fits a person’s routine and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
