About Nancy
Nancy Manly is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem, sleep, eating, and anger.
Nancy speaks plainly in sessions. She helps people name what is most pressing and then practices skills together. That may include behavior changes, emotion regulation exercises, or ways to shift unhelpful thinking. She also supports people coping with major life changes, chronic illness, caregiving burdens, and issues tied to aging.
Her background includes long-term work with substance use and behavioral addictions alongside broader mental health needs. Over two decades she has developed a pragmatic style that mixes several evidence-based approaches. In practice she leans on techniques that focus on values, present-moment choices, and practical skill-building.
Nancy aims to work collaboratively. The therapist listens, outlines options, and offers concrete steps to try between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple terms so goals and setbacks stay visible and manageable.
People often come to her for help with difficult transitions, complicated grief, and managing stress while caring for others. She also supports those trying to reduce substance use or break patterns that damage relationships. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options when booking.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can fit life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed actions that match those values. It helps when stress, avoidance, or uncertainty keep someone from the life they want to live.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes clear strategies for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions when relationships or parenting feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process that may combine techniques from different models based on what helps in practice.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs. They also allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can spend more energy on skipping a difficult commute and focusing on concrete steps discussed in session.
