About Nancy

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 21 years of clinical experience. She offers grounded, practical support for people facing hard seasons. Nancy meets clients where they are and focuses on clear steps forward rather than jargon-filled talk.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions emphasize respect, empathy, and honest feedback. Nancy draws on a range of practical techniques to help people change thoughts, behaviors, and routines that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance concerns, coping with life changes, and challenges like anger, sleep or eating problems, and self-esteem struggles. Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, ADHD, and caregiver stress among other issues.

Nancy uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), combined with a client-centered stance. That mix lets her match practical tools to each person’s needs and pace. She approaches treatment in a collaborative way, creating individualized plans aligned with a client’s goals and daily life.

The focus is on learning skills that can be used between sessions and building sustainable change over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors in practical, step-by-step ways; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She listens to a person's goals and daily realities, explains the options, and together they try methods that fit the client’s needs and pace. Over time techniques are adjusted based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and use tools in real life as issues arise. Working this way supports steady progress while making it easier to access care from home or wherever a person is located.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
