About Nancy
Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to meet people where they are without overwhelming them with jargon.
Clients will find sessions that emphasize listening and practical steps. Nancy uses clear strategies to address negative thinking, relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness.
Background and approach
She blends straightforward skill-building with gentle support so people can use what they learn right away. Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are offered in ways that focus on daily life - managing emotions, improving communication, and building healthier habits.
Nancy has particular experience with addictions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and major life transitions like divorce or caregiving shifts. She helps people sort through long-standing patterns such as codependency, control issues, and abandonment wounds, and she supports those coping with serious health concerns and end-of-life matters. Sessions aim to be collaborative.
Nancy works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and practical steps. The emphasis is on steady progress and on learning tools that fit the individual’s life and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-driven choices matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing negative thinking and behavior patterns. It works well for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with chronic health problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools are helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and managing cravings or addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That conversation shapes a plan that can change over time if needed.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support between longer sessions and fit work or caregiving schedules. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing busy lives.
