Andrea Daigle, LCSW

Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine. She draws on five years as a therapist and longer experience in mental health to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Andrea aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

She uses practical, skills-based approaches to address everyday habits and unhelpful thought patterns. That includes work on obsessions and compulsions, panic, trauma responses, and issues around self-worth and intimacy. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes people can make between meetings.

Andrea’s background includes work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and schools. Those settings shaped a generalist approach and comfort working with many different concerns. She earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of New England and holds the Maine LCSW credential.

In sessions she leans on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She aims to match methods to each person’s goals rather than using a single fixed style.

People often come to Andrea for help with coping skills, managing strong emotions, or navigating major life changes. She works to identify patterns in thoughts and daily routines, then helps people test new ways of responding that fit their life.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at thought patterns and everyday habits, then practices new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to find methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time to make therapy practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The main benefit is fitting therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving. Online work also makes it easier to use homework tools, track thought patterns between meetings, and practice skills in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so people still do hands-on practice and skill building even when they are not meeting in person.
