About Nancy
Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings over 21 years of practice to her work with people facing hard life moments. She is based in Colorado and offers care for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and codependency. Nancy aims to meet people where they are and help them move forward at their own pace.
Her style is warm, direct, and compassionate. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. The therapist frames clients as the expert on their own life while offering guidance from clinical experience.
Nancy draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She mixes these methods to build concrete strategies for dealing with negative thinking, relationship struggles, substance use, chronic pain, caregiving stress, and other real-world challenges.
She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, aging, cancer-related stress, and co-occurring conditions. Sessions often include skills practice, values clarification, and exercises to strengthen boundaries and coping. Nancy emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who prefer a calm, empathic clinician who uses practical tools may find her approach helpful. She supports international clients and conducts care in English. To begin, clients follow an intake process to match with her and schedule sessions.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching ways to accept difficult feelings while still moving forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes clear skill-building exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools can help with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulse control challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, history, and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays useful and realistic.
