About Michelle
Michelle Gilio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado with over 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents in individual and group settings. Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting strain, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, career concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on practical conversations about what is happening day to day. Sessions look at how stress shows up, how anger builds, and how patterns between people keep repeating. Michelle uses straightforward questions and reflective listening to help people slow down their reactions and notice options in the moment.
In session she helps people name triggers, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of communicating. Work can include skill-building for handling heated moments, problem-solving for work or family stress, and planning steps to rebuild confidence after setbacks. Michelle also runs group therapy work when that fits a client's goals.
Her style is calm and direct. She encourages clients to try things between sessions and then review what worked. Progress is measured in small, practical changes that make daily life easier.
If you are thinking about anger that flares at home or work, or tensions that have been building, she helps people notice patterns and practice different responses. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, anger, and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on noticing triggers and reactions in the moment, teaching practical skills to pause and choose a different response. This helps with snapping at loved ones, workplace frustration, and recurring resentments.Another approach centers on skill-building for communication and problem-solving. Sessions include rehearsing short phrases, boundary-setting, and step-by-step plans to handle heated conversations more effectively. These techniques are useful for people who want concrete tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel for an appointment. Ask about the available session formats when you start the matching questionnaire to plan how therapy will fit into your routine.
