Dr. Candon Sadler

Dr. Candon Sadler uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the many changes life brings. She is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY7982) with 17 years of experience. Her style is straightforward and focused on real-life skills. She emphasizes listening, clear feedback, and small steps that add up over time.

Dr. Sadler began studying psychology in high school and earned a B.A. from Emory University before completing graduate work at Indiana State University, including a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. Early work at a crisis call center and inpatient treatment settings shaped her ability to respond calmly when people are in distress.

She has worked in a wide range of settings over the years, including U.S. Veterans’ Administration Hospitals, community mental health centers, hospice, and long-term care. That work included helping people with chronic pain, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, and challenges that come with major life transitions. More recently she has spent time supporting preschool teachers and families with young children to improve classroom and home routines.

In sessions she helps people evaluate their thoughts and behavior, strengthen communication, and practice coping strategies. She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. Dr. Sadler aims for a pace that fits each person and a practical focus on daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and life change

Dr. Sadler commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time as goals evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling details when you start.
