About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. She practices from Maine and brings five years as a practicing therapist to each session. Her aim is to offer a calm, respectful place to talk through what feels overwhelming right now.
Andrea listens for the concrete problems behind large emotions. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new responses.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and make space for actions that matter even when feelings are strong. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills show up in her work for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people set realistic goals and build small steps that lead to change.
These approaches are blended to fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula. Andrea’s background includes practice in hospital, outpatient, and school settings, giving her a range of experience with common life stressors. She earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of New England and holds a Maine LCSW credential.
Her style is warm, patient, and straightforward, with a focus on usable strategies. Sessions with Andrea typically focus on what is most pressing - whether that is coping with loss, managing panic or obsessions, handling relationship or career stress, or building self-worth. She aims to make each appointment a helpful step forward.

Online approaches that help with strong feelings
Andrea regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions aligned with personal values. It is useful when emotions get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Andrea will talk through your goals, try approaches that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps most. She combines skill-building and brief goal-focused steps so the work is practical and oriented toward real-life challenges.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or share updates without scheduling a call. These options help make therapy more flexible to fit work, family, and daily life.
