About Nancy

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, anger, and a wide range of life changes. Nancy also supports people dealing with relationship challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and career concerns.

She favors straightforward work in session. Nancy listens, helps people sort out what matters, and teaches practical skills for managing upsetting thoughts and strong feelings. She draws on a mix of approaches to give concrete tools for everyday life.

Her practice addresses both immediate problems and longer patterns that keep returning. That can mean building new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, or learning ways to respond differently when anger or frustration flare. She also helps people face losses, navigate caregiving and aging issues, and manage addictive behaviors.

Nancy uses several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. She combines these into practical steps rather than abstract theories.

People who want clear, skills-based help tend to fit her style. She works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the session formats she offers through the site so arrangements match your needs.

Background and approach: Nancy has over two decades helping people with overlapping concerns such as trauma, chronic pain, body image, codependency, and addictions. She pays attention to how emotions show up in day-to-day life and how patterns in relationships and behavior maintain distress. Sessions often include learning breathing and grounding skills, identifying thought patterns, practicing alternative responses to triggers, and building plans to handle difficult situations. Her focus is practical change you can use between sessions, with attention to both emotional experience and concrete behavior.

How sessions work

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when strong feelings arise.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as work progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow more flexible timing for people in different time zones. Expect sessions to include practical teaching, in-session practice, and homework you can use between meetings to handle anger, stress, or cravings.
