Sandra "Chalice" Ledet, LCSW

Sandra "Chalice" Ledet is licensed in Oregon and brings 30 years of professional work experience to her therapeutic practice.

She has worked with adults on relationship concerns, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and the challenges of coping with grief and loss. Ledet emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and explored.

Recognizing that beginning therapy requires courage, she affirms and supports clients taking that first step and partners with them in their efforts to make meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore attachment needs, improve relationship dynamics, and work through patterns that affect intimacy and security.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance in which the client leads the pace and content of work. Delivered remotely, it supports self-exploration and personal growth by offering consistent listening and validation from a licensed professional.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In virtual formats, CBT techniques such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and skill practice can be adapted to daily life and reviewed collaboratively during sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra "Chalice" Ledet will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to connect from different locations and schedules. This makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, integrate therapeutic work into daily routines, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult.
