About Sandra

Sandra "Chalice" Ledet brings a warm, client-focused way of working to adults seeking help with relationship and life challenges. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Oregon with 30 years of experience. Sessions aim to be straightforward and nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about what matters to them.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or communication problems.

Background and approach

Sandra also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to change them. For people who feel overwhelmed by emotions, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy help build coping skills and steady routines.

Existential work can support those facing big life questions, grief, or changes in identity. Her background includes long-term work with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and caregiver or compassion fatigue issues. She also helps with parenting strain, blended family stress, body image, and chronic illness challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and are intended for adults. The approach is collaborative: Sandra listens, helps set clear goals, and offers tools that fit each person's pace and needs.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand trust, closeness, and communication problems. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and building healthier connections with others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and supports the person to make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in behavior and thinking to reduce distress and improve routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will help figure out which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across changes in location or schedule.
