About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with six years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and career pressures. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Dr. Chetram uses a direct and interactive approach in sessions. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, and client-centered conversation. In practical terms this can mean learning skills for emotional regulation, testing thoughts that fuel anger, and building clearer ways to communicate.
Her style emphasizes strengths already present in a person's life. She works with concrete goals such as reducing outbursts, managing cravings, repairing communication, or coping with a major loss. Expect a mix of skill practice, focused discussion, and planning for real-world situations.
Dr. Chetram has experience supporting people who have faced domestic violence, family violence, mood dysregulation, and other forms of trauma. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and disability, and codependency.
Practical steps are part of the work. She helps people build strategies for daily triggers and longer-term change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's booking flow.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger is tied to stuck beliefs or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed frustration and resentment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce reactive responses in heated moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes picking techniques, adjusting pacing, and checking what helps in daily life.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, and practice skills between meetings. Some formats use shorter check-ins or audio-only options which can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick review is needed. Ask about the available session types during booking to plan what will work best for your schedule and goals.
