About Sandra
Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She focuses on relationships, trauma and grief, and common life transitions. Sandra aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful for people who are worried about starting therapy.
She works with adults to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Sandra helps people look at what gets in the way of connection and self-care, including codependency and attachment struggles.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and techniques that strengthen emotional regulation. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions. Sandra draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape present choices.
Across sessions she aims for clear, actionable steps that fit into everyday life. That might mean building coping strategies for grief, improving communication habits, or planning ways to reduce compassion fatigue. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sandra works from Oregon and conducts sessions in English. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and offers straightforward guidance to help people move forward at their own pace.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people see patterns that affect trust and closeness and supports changes in how they relate to others.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them name priorities and build on their own strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together choose methods that feel best. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting them over time.
To fit sessions into everyday life, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. Before booking, confirm which session formats this therapist currently offers. Mention any practical needs when you schedule so session length or focus can be arranged to match work breaks, caregiving duties, or short check-ins.
