About Sandra

Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of professional experience helping adults navigate relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She practices from a client-centered stance that emphasizes empathy and respectful listening, creating space for clients to explore difficult emotions and concerns such as addiction, depression, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD. Her LCSW credential (OR LCSW L4453) anchors a long career supporting people through intimacy-related struggles, parenting stress, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Ledet draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and existential perspectives to tailor support to each person’s needs. She also brings experience addressing complex areas like abandonment, codependency, chronic illness and pain, domestic violence aftermath, and blended family dynamics.

Based in Oregon and working in English, she blends practical coping skills with deeper relational work to help clients create more grounded, manageable day-to-day lives.

Integrating relational and skills-based work through online therapy

Ledet commonly uses attachment-based work to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping clients build more supported ways of relating. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for depression, anxiety, and symptoms related to ADHD. When appropriate, dialectical behavior skills are introduced to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication abilities.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit a client’s situation. Together they tailor a plan that balances insight-oriented exploration with concrete skills practice so clients can see both immediate and longer-term benefits.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to maintain consistency around work, caregiving, or other commitments while engaging in therapy with a licensed professional from Oregon.
