About Nancy

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 21 years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history of helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, substance and behavioral addictions, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Nancy emphasizes practical strategies to address negative thinking, self-worth, relationship difficulties, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and related concerns such as compassion fatigue and career stress. Her background includes work with issues across many life stages, including aging, hospice and end-of-life care, and challenges tied to serious health diagnoses.

Her style is described as warm, compassionate, honest, and gentle, and she orients therapy around each person’s strengths and lived expertise. Nancy integrates evidence-based techniques into individualized plans, using a mix of cognitive-behavioral tools, skills-based methods, and relationally focused work to produce tangible, sustainable change.

She partners with clients at their pace, offering guidance and concrete practices to reduce distress while also increasing joy, resilience, and well-being. Nancy accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English from her Colorado practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take purposeful action while developing acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior, offering structured techniques to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problematic habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and strengthening relational bonds, which can help with intimacy and communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nancy works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client’s goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, integrating different techniques as needs evolve and as clients identify what feels most helpful in practice.

Online therapy with Nancy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, avoid travel, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide skill-building, emotional processing, and practical problem solving.
