About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, ME LCSW, with five years of practice as a therapist and a longer history in mental health work. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and anger among other concerns. Andrea practices in Maine and conducts sessions in English.
She uses straightforward, skills-based methods in session. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, learning acceptance and values-based action with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or practicing emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also brings Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused strategies when those fit a person's needs.
Andrea's background includes work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and a school setting. That variety shaped a generalist approach focused on practical tools people can use between sessions. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England in 2015 and holds the license LCSW in Maine.
In sessions she aims to talk through concrete steps for managing strong feelings, handling relationship strain, and juggling life changes. People working on anger often focus on recognizing triggers, practicing alternative responses, and building clearer communication skills. Andrea will work with each person to set goals and try techniques that fit their daily life.
Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including addictions, LGBT issues, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, panic, OCD symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and young adult issues. If someone wants to begin, the next step is to use the site sign-up flow to choose a plan and book an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and frustration that keeps someone from living how they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT is often applied to mood problems, panic, and patterns that feed anger and worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and lowering impulsive reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative, and adjustments are made if a technique does not fit or produce helpful change.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions in everyday settings. Licensed professionals work with clients to match the approach and schedule to what works best for their life.
