About Andrea
Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Maine with five years as a therapist. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and related concerns. Sessions address practical problems like work frustration, relationship strain, parenting stress, and feelings of low self-worth.
Andrea draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage difficult emotions and reactions. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small, workable changes. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing to support changes around addictions and stalled goals.
Her background includes clinical work in hospitals, outpatient services, and school settings. Those roles shaped an ability to work with a wide range of issues across different life stages. Andrea earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England in 2015 and holds the LCSW credential in Maine.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills and short-term strategies, such as coping techniques for panic or tools to manage intrusive thoughts. She uses solution-focused methods when people want to set clear goals and try step-by-step changes. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, skills practice, and check-ins on what works between sessions.
Andrea speaks English and uses a subscription-based model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and formats before booking and can begin by completing the intake questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that matter more than trying to suppress emotion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and communicating more effectively. Those DBT skills can be practiced in sessions and then tried between meetings to see what helps day to day. Andrea will work collaboratively to figure out which approach or combination makes the most sense for a person’s goals and current challenges.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays or family life, and they can make it simpler to keep regular short check-ins when schedules are tight. The therapist context here does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. The focus online is the same as in person – learning and practicing skills, setting achievable goals, and checking progress so sessions fit into everyday routines.
