About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is an LCSW practicing in Maine. She brings a calm, patient manner and five years of clinical therapy experience to sessions. Andrea focuses on practical, hands-on help for everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting concerns.
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns and try small, helpful changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also appear in her work, helping clients clarify values and take action toward them. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques guide short-term goals and forward movement.
Andrea's background includes time in hospitals, outpatient programs, and schools. Those settings shaped a broad, generalist approach and an ability to adapt to different needs. She aims to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about hard things.
Typical concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger, and career stress. Additional focuses are obsessions and compulsions, panic and post-traumatic stress, self-love work, and challenges common to young adults.
Andrea earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England in 2015 and holds the LCSW credential. Her sessions emphasize practical strategies, clear goals, and collaboration so people can make manageable changes that fit their lives.
How Andrea uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small steps toward them even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for life transitions, anxiety, and building a more meaningful daily routine.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking by breaking problems into manageable parts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through attention to mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss these methods and help decide which fits a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Many people find it simpler to maintain momentum when scheduling is flexible, and a clear plan helps turn therapy conversations into concrete steps.
