About Sandra
Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience in Oregon. She creates a calm, open space where adults can talk about hard things without judgment. She encourages straightforward conversations and practical next steps so people feel heard and steady.
She uses an existential lens to help clients face life's big questions and find meaning amid change. That approach pairs with attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Sandra also draws on client-centered methods to focus sessions on each person's needs and priorities. Her practice addresses relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life transitions. She also helps with compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD.
Additional areas include abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems. Sessions aim to balance honest reflection with tangible skills. Depending on what's needed, she may use cognitive behavioral techniques or dialectical behavior strategies to manage distress and build coping tools.
The work is collaborative - the person sets goals and the therapist helps find ways to reach them. People who are unsure how to begin can expect a straightforward first appointment. Sandra guides newcomers through what to expect and helps plan follow-up steps based on each person's situation and goals.

Online support
How different approaches shape online therapy
Existential Therapy looks at big life questions and personal meaning. It helps people who feel stuck after loss, major change, or when daily life feels empty by encouraging honest reflection and choices that match values.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people notice repeating dynamics in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That means sessions can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow a full face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, day-to-day coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
