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 facing relationship strain, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Sandra aims to create an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
She works from an attachment-informed perspective, paying attention to how early bonds shape present relationships and emotional reactions.
Background and approach
That lens helps when addressing issues like intimacy struggles, abandonment wounds, and communication problems. Sandra also uses client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to keep sessions practical and grounded. In sessions she listens first and then helps clients set short-term goals.
She often works on skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and coping with grief or chronic illness. Simple tools and small experiments between sessions are common parts of the work. Sandra has supported people dealing with compassion fatigue, addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
She also helps with parenting stress, blended family concerns, caregiver strain, and body image or self-esteem struggles. Her approach is collaborative and plainspoken. New clients can expect an invitation to describe what matters most to them, a focus on practical next steps, and respect for their pace in healing.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions, helping people understand patterns that cause pain in adulthood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting clients set the pace so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From that conversation she will suggest ways to combine methods so sessions match each person’s needs and comfort level.
Online therapy makes those methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework guidance, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping focus on practical progress.
