About Nancy

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 21 years of experience. She welcomes people who are struggling and offers steady guidance for life’s hard seasons. Nancy focuses on helping clients build skills and move toward goals at a pace that feels manageable.

She commonly helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating struggles, parenting pressure, and self esteem issues. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, aging concerns, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Nancy’s work includes those dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

Nancy’s style is warm, honest, and grounded. She treats each person as the expert on their life and partners with them to identify meaningful, realistic steps forward. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies that can be practiced between meetings, not only talk about problems.

Her methods draw from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She blends these with practical tools like relaxation and motivational interviewing to fit each person’s needs.

Nancy builds individualized treatment plans based on a person’s goals, abilities, and circumstances. She aims to reduce distress while also increasing everyday joy and resilience. Prospective clients are invited to take the next step by using the site's Start Therapy flow to begin matching and scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful when avoiding feelings or when meaning and direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it often suits anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathy and genuine listening to help people clarify their goals and feel heard.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as goals change and progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be quicker for brief check-ins while others support longer, deeper work. Discuss scheduling and the best session rhythm with the therapist when you begin.
