About Sursatie
Dr. Sursatie Chetram is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Connecticut with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and career concerns. She also supports those coping with bipolar disorder and major life changes.

Her background includes work with clients affected by domestic violence, family violence, and mood dysregulation. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and blended family stress. Addiction, eating and food-related concerns, and chronic illness or pain are within her areas of focus.
Dr. Chetram attends to communication problems, codependency, commitment and control issues, and the strain that divorce or separation can cause. She works with people dealing with parenting strain, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and the practical fallout of major life transitions.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and relationship patterns. It can help people and partners name difficult feelings and shift repeating interaction cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses practical exercises to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to improve how people relate and connect with others and themselves.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then suggests methods to try. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted over time based on how helpful they are.
The original profile does not list exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Working remotely lets people try emotion-focused and skills-based practices from wherever they are, and the therapist can recommend practical exercises to use between sessions.
