About Michelle
Michelle Gilio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with over 15 years of experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, motivation, relationships and communication, self-esteem, confidence, grief, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, ADHD, trauma and abuse. Michelle uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people make small changes that ease daily pressure.
She has worked across individual and group settings with a range of age groups. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems active, and on practicing different ways to respond. Michelle talks through concrete steps clients can try between sessions to test what helps and what does not.
Her style is direct and calm. She encourages people to name what they are feeling and to notice how those feelings affect choices. The work includes skill building - for example in communication, stress management, and setting boundaries - rather than long theoretical explanations.
Michelle values straightforward feedback and practical tools. She aims to make conversations useful from the first meeting. People looking to manage anger, reduce anxiety, or sort through life changes will find a practical focus in sessions.
To begin, prospective clients follow the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The therapist explains next steps and what to expect during that initial appointment.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and then practice alternative responses to reduce anger and anxiety. Another approach emphasizes communication and problem-solving skills to improve relationships and handle conflict more clearly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they try methods and adapt them based on what helps over several sessions.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, take shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use virtual work to keep steady treatment when life gets busy, while still focusing on practical skills for anger, stress, and daily challenges.
