About Sandra
Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is an LCSW licensed in Oregon with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, family-of-origin patterns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and compassion fatigue.
Ledet focuses on helping people name the patterns that repeat from their upbringing. She listens for attachment styles and role expectations that continue to shape relationships. Sessions often involve talking through how childhood roles affect current choices and feelings.
Her approach leans on practical tools as well as reflective conversation. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at closeness and boundaries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used for emotion regulation and coping in high-stress moments.
Clients may bring concerns about parenting, blended family stress, abandonment, or communication problems. She also works with people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and intimacy-related issues. Ledet addresses both practical problems and the emotional patterns behind them.
With a straightforward style, Ledet helps clients set small goals they can try between sessions. She asks about day-to-day routines, sleep, and work to make recommendations that fit real life. To begin, she directs people to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and comfort with closeness. Online sessions can be used to talk through those patterns and practice different ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes. In remote sessions those steps can be reviewed and homework can be planned to fit the client’s routine.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether more attachment-focused reflection or CBT skill practice becomes the focus in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caregiving responsibilities, reduce travel time, and let people join from quieter surroundings when that is helpful. Some formats may also be shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings if needed, but check with the provider about what they offer.
