About Michelle

Michelle Gilio is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She has provided individual and group support to children, adolescents, couples, and adults, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, motivation challenges, relationships and communication, and issues around self-esteem and confidence.

Background and approach

Michelle emphasizes building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name their thoughts and emotions and explore practical ways to move forward. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and grief, parenting difficulties, anger, career shifts, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

She invites clients to take the first step toward change and offers steady guidance through the early, often courageous stages of beginning therapy. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that prioritizes clear communication and realistic goals.

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person's needs and meets clients through a variety of online formats to increase accessibility across Colorado.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to a range of concerns. Cognitive behavioral strategies involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and strengthen coping skills. For trauma, she applies trauma-informed approaches that help clients process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, supporting emotional regulation and safety. When ADHD-related challenges arise, practical skills-building focuses on organization, routines, and strategies to boost motivation and daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is decided together. The therapist collaborates with each client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the nature of the presenting concerns, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations within Colorado.
