About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine who integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with several other evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate emotional challenges.
Background and approach
With five years of direct clinical experience as a therapist and more than a decade working in the mental health field overall, she draws on time spent in hospital, outpatient, and school settings to offer practical, skills-focused care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress.
Her work emphasizes compassion, patience, and a nonjudgmental attitude, creating space for people to explore self-worth, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, eating concerns, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Andrea also attends to more specific patterns like obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, and post-traumatic stress, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.
She trained at the University of New England, earning a Master of Social Work in 2015, and maintains her Maine LCSW credential (ME LCSW LC16674). Andrea aims to collaborate with clients on practical goals while honoring their strengths and pacing.
Her rural practice background has fostered a generalist approach that blends motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, ACT, DBT, and CBT to support measurable change and improved coping.
CBT, ACT, DBT Online - Practical Tools for Everyday Challenges
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and real-world practice to reduce distress and improve functioning.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences rather than struggling with them; ACT can be useful for clients facing grief, chronic stress, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are employed to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those dealing with intense emotions or relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works together with clients to determine which combination of techniques fits their goals, preferences, and daily life, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure sessions remain focused and relevant.
Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage in skills practice, check-ins, and therapeutic planning from locations that suit their schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
