Nancy Manly

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 21 years of experience. She greets people with warmth and an intention to help them move forward. Her background includes long-term work with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and anger among many other concerns.

Nancy uses practical tools and clear steps in sessions. She focuses on strengths that people already have and helps them build skills to handle hard moments. Conversations are direct but gentle, and the pace is set by the person seeking help.

Her work blends several evidence-based ways of working, including cognitive-behavioral methods, acceptance-oriented approaches, emotion-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. Those methods are used together to create plans that fit each person's life and needs. The aim is to reduce distress and also increase everyday joy and peace.

Nancy often helps people cope with life changes, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and struggles with self-worth or relationships. She also supports people dealing with trauma, substance concerns, sleep or eating problems, and career or parenting strains.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set goals and Nancy guides them with concrete strategies, exercises, and ongoing support. The focus is on building durable habits that help people manage feelings, thoughts, and behaviors more effectively.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they test techniques, adjust plans, and focus on what helps the person make steady progress.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping skills, practice new behaviors, and maintain momentum between in-person visits when appropriate.
