   About Andrea

   Andrea Daigle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Maine. She brings five years of direct therapy experience and over a decade of broader mental health work to sessions. Andrea aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult moments and find practical ways forward.

   Andrea helps people with common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. Her additional focus includes obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and young adult challenges.

   Her approach blends Motivational Interviewing with evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens for goals, explores motivation, and offers simple skills to try between meetings. The work tends to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

   Andrea trained for her master’s degree in social work at the University of New England, and she has worked in hospital, outpatient, and school settings. Those varied roles shaped a flexible style that fits many different life situations. She describes herself as compassionate, patient, and grounded in common-sense strategies.

   People who meet with Andrea can expect a steady, empathic presence and help choosing small, doable steps toward change. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

2. How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online

   Andrea uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build momentum. This method focuses on listening, asking open questions, and strengthening personal motivation for steps a person wants to take.
   
   She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, or depression.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
   
   If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice between meetings so therapy connects with everyday life.
