About Nancy
Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 21 years of experience supporting people through many difficult seasons. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and a range of life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways to manage day-to-day struggles.
Nancy combines direct talk with listening. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That mix is used to help people name hard emotions and change unhelpful patterns.
In sessions she helps people build skills for coping, managing impulses, and improving communication. She also supports those facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, aging concerns, grief, and substance use challenges. Work can include developing healthy boundaries and addressing self-esteem and body image concerns.
Nancy frames the client as the expert on their life and offers practical tools to try between meetings. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on steps that can make daily life easier. People who prefer both emotional exploration and concrete strategies often find this style useful.
She also supports concerns like career stress, compassion fatigue, commitment and codependency issues, and problems with sleep or eating. If you want to try an approach that pays attention to emotions while teaching clear skills, this is the orientation Nancy brings to sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples identify and name the emotions that drive difficult interaction patterns and attachment needs. In practice this means pausing to notice feelings, then using those observations to try new ways of responding to oneself and others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and committing to values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where avoidance has become the default response.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It often includes simple experiments and homework to practice new skills between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps identify whether more emotional exploration, acceptance work, or skills training is most helpful.
