About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Maine. She brings five years as a therapist to her work and more than a decade of broader mental health experience. Andrea focuses on helping people manage common struggles like anxiety, stress, grief, and low self-esteem, including issues around panic and obsessive thoughts.
She uses straightforward, practical techniques in sessions. Conversations often center on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small, concrete changes. Andrea mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and solution-focused strategies to match what a person needs.
Andrea trained with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of New England and has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and school settings. Those different roles shaped a flexible style that aims to meet everyday life demands. She describes her manner as compassionate, patient, and kind.
In therapy she pays attention to what feels achievable each week. Sessions may include skills practice, short exercises, and goal-setting. The work is collaborative - she helps people pick steps that fit their pace and priorities.
People come to Andrea for a wide range of challenges, including trauma, mood struggles, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and substance-related issues. She also supports those facing burnout, compassion fatigue, and identity questions among LGBT people.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aiming to reduce overwhelming moments and build steady coping tools over time.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without letting those thoughts dictate actions. It focuses on values and small actions that line up with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down distressing thoughts and behaviors into smaller parts to practice different responses and reduce symptoms over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing emotion, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and may try a few methods to see what fits. This helps keep sessions relevant and focused on practical change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that match energy levels such as phone or video sessions if available. It also supports maintaining continuity of care while juggling work, school, or family demands. Licensed professionals help tailor the pacing and tools so therapy fits daily routines rather than demanding big disruptions.
