About Nancy Manly
Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Addictions Specialist practicing in Colorado with 21 years of clinical experience. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor credential that indicates formal training and state licensure to provide professional counseling - she has guided people through a wide range of life challenges and behavioral health concerns.
Nancy works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, substance use and other behavioral addictions, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, relationship and family struggles, boundaries and self-esteem issues, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people navigating caregiver burdens, aging and geriatric issues including Alzheimer’s and other dementias, chronic illness and pain, cancer, and end-of-life or hospice journeys. Compassion fatigue, ADHD, codependency, and addiction-related concerns are additional areas of focus.
Her therapeutic stance is warm, compassionate, honest, and gentle, built on a strengths-based view that recognizes the client as the expert on their own life while Nancy contributes clinical expertise in mental health. She combines concrete strategies with individualized processes to produce sustainable progress, drawing from a broad set of evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative and psychodynamic work, solution-focused methods, somatic techniques, and trauma-focused therapies.
Clients have described her as calming, empathetic, respectful, insightful, accepting, trustworthy, wise, understanding, easy to talk with, comforting, capable, gentle, and honest - in some cases calling her a gifted guide who companions others to healing and a gifted listener who hears the heart beyond the words. She develops treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs, abilities, and circumstances, integrating modalities that align with goals for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Nancy meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels right for each individual, aiming not only to reduce distress but also to increase joy and peace. She encourages those seeking support to take the next step toward change and reach out when they are ready to begin.
