About Sandra
Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is an LCSW licensed in Oregon with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and other life changes. She also addresses issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Ledet focuses on clear, direct conversation about what is happening at home and in close relationships. She uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions are practical and focused on what a client can try between meetings.
Many people come for help with parenting stress, blended family situations, and communication problems. She also supports adults navigating abandonment wounds, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and intimacy-related concerns. Addictions, domestic violence history, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster are among other areas she addresses.
Her style emphasizes honest feedback and steady support. She helps clients identify patterns, test small changes, and build routine skills for managing anger, sleep problems, or low self-esteem. Work may include looking at attachment needs and teaching coping tools drawn from CBT and DBT.
With three decades of practice, Ledet brings experience from diverse clinical situations. Adults seeking help with family and parenting pressures can follow the site's steps to learn more and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current interactions. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, practice different ways of relating, and rehearse conversation skills that often show up at home. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can better understand their feelings. In virtual sessions this can feel like a steady, patient conversation where the therapist follows the client's concerns and helps them clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online sessions can include short exercises, thought records, and step-by-step plans to try between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and everyday schedule. That choice can change as issues shift or new needs emerge. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit into work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.Areas of focus
