About Candon

Dr. Candon Sadler uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help families and parents manage everyday challenges. She is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY7982) with 17 years of experience.

She focuses on clear, doable strategies so parents and caregivers can see small changes that add up. Her style is steady and down-to-earth, aimed at making life feel more manageable for people under stress. She began studying psychology in college and went on to earn a master’s degree and a doctoral degree in clinical psychology.

Background and approach

Those training years included work in crisis centers and inpatient settings, where she learned to respond calmly in difficult moments. Over her career she has worked in Veterans Administration hospitals, community mental health, hospice, rehabilitation and long-term care settings. More recently she has worked with preschool teachers and families of young children to support classroom and home routines and early intervention needs.

Her experience also includes helping people cope with chronic pain, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, caregiver stress, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to aging and fertility. In sessions she listens closely, helps people notice how thoughts and actions connect, and teaches coping and communication skills.

She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, and solution-focused techniques. Her aim is to work at a pace that feels right for each person and to build practical tools parents can use every day. Dr.

Sadler emphasizes collaboration and respect. She meets people where they are, helps set clear goals, and supports steady progress toward family well-being. Services are provided in Florida and conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for families

Dr. Sadler draws on approaches that help parents and caregivers solve practical problems and reduce stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how people feel and act. It suits worries, mood problems, sleep troubles, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people accept difficult feelings while moving toward values-based family goals; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with parenting stress and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the family or parent about current troubles, goals, and daily routines. Together they figure out which methods fit best and adjust the plan as needs change. This collaborative process aims to keep sessions practical and relevant to everyday family life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work through challenges. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins and real-time problem solving between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support around busy schedules and caregiving responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
