Michelle Gilio, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of experience, Michelle Gilio helps people address stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and ADHD. Michelle has worked in individual and group therapy settings and supports people across different ages. Sessions focus on direct conversation and practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She speaks English and conducts work from Colorado.

Michelle has experience working with young children, teens, couples, and adults in clinical settings, and brings that range into how she structures sessions. She prioritizes creating an environment where people can speak openly and describe what’s happening in their lives. Sessions often include clear, actionable goals, steady check-ins, and strategies to manage stress or rebuild confidence.

Her approach mixes evidence-based therapeutic techniques with straightforward problem solving. She helps people learn new ways to handle anxiety, communicate in relationships, and manage emotions like anger or grief. For parents she focuses on coping with the demands of parenting and the stress that often comes with it.

Michelle uses group work experience when appropriate, such as peer support or skills groups, and adapts tools to fit each person’s situation. She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist set goals and track progress together. The overall aim is practical improvement in daily life rather than abstract theory.

To get started, Michelle asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is presented as a sequence of small steps to make beginning therapy clearer and more manageable.
