About Sandra

Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other life changes. Sandra focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and everyday problems.

She uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and existential therapy. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people notice patterns in thinking, feeling, and relating. That helps inform concrete steps to try between meetings.

Sandra often addresses issues that show up across life areas. These include parenting strain, communication problems, intimacy-related concerns, addiction, compassion fatigue, sleeping difficulties, and career stress. She also works with long-term concerns such as bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD using strategies suited to daily life.

Additional areas she attends to are abandonment and attachment issues, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. The focus is on practical coping and clearer decision-making rather than jargon or labels.

Starting therapy with Sandra involves a straightforward first step. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.

BHow sessions work

How her clinical methods translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect how people feel and connect. Online work using attachment ideas looks at patterns in close relationships and practices new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and following what the client brings. In remote sessions this often means the therapist reflects concerns and helps clients clarify goals and next steps they can use between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as new issues come up or progress is made. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific online or in-person options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, an audio-only meeting when bandwidth is limited, or a regular remote appointment that avoids travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they try new skills and make changes.
