About Andrea

Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Maine who combines evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, pragmatic outlook.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical practice and a broader 15-year involvement in the mental health field, she draws on experience in hospital, outpatient, and school settings to address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, addictions, and ADHD. Andrea favors practical, skills-based work that meets people where they are.

She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to support coping with life changes, panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career or identity questions.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of New England, and she holds the Maine LCSW license LC16674. Known for a patient, nonjudgmental presence, Andrea frames therapy as a collaborative process.

She aims to create an empathetic space in which clients can explore goals, build skills, and navigate difficult transitions while drawing on practical strategies tailored to each person's needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Andrea draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when clients face strong emotions or relationship challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she employs to help people clarify values and build meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. Andrea works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the work feels practical and relevant. Clients can expect to try skills and strategies together and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and accessibility across different lifestyles. These formats allow clients to engage in skill-building, check-ins, and therapeutic conversation from locations that fit their routines, making it easier to maintain consistency while working toward goals.
