About Sandra
Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are dealing with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and person-centered, aimed at creating a calm space to talk through what feels overwhelming.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's experience and goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more workable options. Sandra often supports people facing compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and addiction-related concerns. She also addresses issues like sleep disturbances, anger, self-esteem, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Her work includes attention to blended family challenges, communication problems, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Conversations explore what feels most pressing, and they lead to small steps people can try between meetings.
Sandra encourages people to name their goals and to test approaches that fit their life. Signing up for therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. She helps adults move forward by listening closely, offering clear feedback, and adapting methods like DBT and existential ideas when they match a person's needs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sandra blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care in her online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationships, helping people understand patterns that cause pain. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering empathy and reflection so they can find their own solutions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with change. Together these approaches give a mix of understanding, practical tools, and purposeful action to address relationship, trauma, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps make sure techniques feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or tracking moods between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and different stages of recovery.
