About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maine. She brings five years of direct therapy experience and a broader 15-year background in mental health to her work. Andrea focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress and anxiety among other concerns.
She commonly supports people coping with depression, grief, trauma and life changes. Other areas she addresses include addiction, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career concerns, parenting stress, and challenges such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also works with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and issues common to young adults. Andrea uses clear, skills-based approaches in sessions. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify thought patterns that increase distress.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotion and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are part of her toolbox for people who want concrete steps and quick changes. Her prior roles in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and schools shaped a flexible, generalist style.
Andrea aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk and practice new ways of coping. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England and holds the LCSW credential. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behavior and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss goals, and try strategies together to find what fits best for you. Many people use a blend of methods so the work matches their needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, on-the-go support, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or parenting commitments while still practicing the same therapeutic skills as in-person care.
