Sandra "Chalice" Ledet, LCSW

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 stress, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Sandra aims to create a calm, open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Her work is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sandra uses clear tools to help with anxiety, low mood, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and struggles with self-esteem or anger.

Clients often come with issues around attachment, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, or career strain. Sandra also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image worries, or the fallout from divorce and separation. She brings a steady, experienced perspective to complex life events such as abandonment and grief.

Her approach blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies. She draws on attachment-based and existential ideas to help people explore meaning and rebuild connections. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Sandra recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and treats that step as part of the work. She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable while working toward clearer thinking, better coping, and stronger relationships.

How specific approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how past bonds affect current trust, communication, and feelings of safety. This can be useful for those coping with abandonment, caregiving stress, or intimacy issues.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead, helping clarify values and next steps. This approach works well for people facing life transitions, grief, or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what fits best. Together they will review goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions feel relevant and practical.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter time for a session or avoid camera use when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals will help match schedule and approach to the client's life and goals.
