Nancy Manly, LPC

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She practices in Colorado and works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. Nancy offers straightforward support aimed at helping people move forward one step at a time.

Nancy brings a calm and compassionate presence to sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and uses that perspective to build practical plans together. Conversations focus on clear strategies, not jargon, so clients can use what they learn right away.

Her work covers emotional and behavioral issues such as stress, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. Addiction recovery and trauma are additional areas she addresses.

Nancy blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She favors methods that teach coping skills, change unhelpful thinking, and strengthen emotional connection. Sessions commonly include skill practice, pacing that fits each person, and attention to daily life demands.

The tone in her practice is warm, honest, and steady. Nancy aims to help clients reduce distress while building more joy and ease in everyday life. To begin, she asks people to share where they are now so a tailored plan can be created together.

Approaches in online counseling and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help people facing chronic illness, grief, or ongoing stress who want to live a more meaningful life despite difficult symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and many day-to-day struggles.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and coping with strong urges or impulses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Goals, pacing, and techniques are decided together so the plan feels manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from different places. It also offers flexibility for shorter check-ins, scheduling around medical care, or attending from a quieter setting when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to everyday routines so therapy supports real-life change.
