    About Sursatie

    Dr. Sursatie Chetram helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and career or life transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut and works with adults who want practical tools and straightforward guidance.

    Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused. Sessions are interactive and shaped around each person's goals. She uses clear, goal-oriented techniques to help people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and make changes that matter in daily life.

    Dr. Chetram draws from several familiar approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She adapts these methods to fit the problem at hand rather than following a single script. This helps when someone is dealing with addiction, trauma, mood concerns, or ongoing relationship problems.

    With six years of clinical experience, she has worked with people affected by domestic violence, mood dysregulation, and complex family situations. Her work also includes issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, chronic illness, codependency, and eating or substance use challenges.

    People who choose Dr. Chetram can expect respectful, practical conversations that focus on concrete steps. She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

  2. Using different approaches in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for practical steps, which can help with addictions, ambivalence, and behavior change.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while acting on values that matter. It is often used for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life transitions.

    Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships. It helps people understand connection, communication problems, and attachment issues in close relationships.

    Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to real-life needs rather than forcing a single method.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Expect the therapist to discuss how to structure sessions so they match your schedule and goals.
