About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, practical support for people facing anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and related concerns. She works plainly and directly to help clients find steady footing when life feels hard. Andrea brings five years of clinical therapy experience alongside a longer history in mental health roles.
Andrea aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful moments and learn skills that help day to day.
Background and approach
She draws on straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to reduce overwhelming thoughts and build emotional skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help clarify next steps and strengthen motivation for change. Her background includes work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and schools in Maine.
Those settings shaped her flexible, generalist approach and comfort addressing a wide range of concerns from trauma and addiction to self-esteem and parenting stress. Andrea earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England in 2015 and holds a Maine LCSW license. Sessions focus on practical strategies that clients can use between meetings.
Andrea helps people break problems into manageable pieces and practice small changes that add up over time. She also supports those coping with panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, and challenges common to young adults. People can expect patient listening, gentle challenge when needed, and collaboration on goals.
Andrea aims to meet each person where they are and help them build tools for clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more confident decisions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-driven action so people can move toward a life they care about despite discomfort. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommend a mix of strategies. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they focus on usable tools and clear steps forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video works well for full conversations and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or reminders between sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
