Lito Nillo

Welcome to my NowServing-SeriousMD profile! I am Lito Nillo (he/him), a registered guidance counselor and psychometrician, and a mental health advocate. I have experience dealing with people with a wide range of problems, including stress and burnout, cases of anxiety, depression, grief, self-harm, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, and other psycho-emotional concerns. I have a Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling and have been employed as a University Counselor at the Office of Guidance and Counseling, Higher Education, Ateneo de Manila University for almost 18 years now. I earned my BS in Psychology, Magna Cum Laude, from the University of the East—Manila. Currently, I also work as the office coordinator and an INTACT homeroom adviser. I was a recipient of the Rev. Edmundo Martinez SJ Excellence Award for Professionals in 2018. Moreover, I’m also a review specialist of the Board Licensure Examination for Psychometrician (BLEP) and have been teaching in higher education at various universities. Aside from counseling, I also specialize in designing guidance programs and improving interschool protocols, capacity building for parents and teachers, and designing evidence-based interventions. I also conduct mental health and psychological first aid in schools and in various workplaces. I employ eclectic techniques anchored on a person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral approach. I know life can be challenging sometimes. I’m eager to work with you to be able to guide you through a meaningful journey, providing a safe and compassionate environment.
