About Nancy

Nancy Manly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work. She greets people with warmth and calm, aiming to make the process of seeking help feel manageable. Nancy’s background includes many years helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, and sleeping difficulties.

Her sessions focus on practical skills and steady support. She encourages clients to name goals and then builds step-by-step plans to reach them. Nancy emphasizes strengths people already have and helps them use those strengths to face hard situations like caregiving stress, chronic illness, or major life changes.

Nancy blends several established therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. She pulls from cognitive behavior ideas to shift thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and client-centered listening to keep sessions grounded in what matters to the individual. Her style is gentle, honest, and straightforward.

She often works on relationship and intimacy questions, communication difficulties, and issues tied to self-esteem or body image. Therapy can also include tools for coping with anger, compassion fatigue, or the fallout of trauma and abuse. Sleep and rest are part of the concerns she addresses when they come up in people’s lives.

People who choose Nancy can expect a collaborative pace and concrete tools to practice between sessions. She focuses on usable strategies that fit day-to-day life and on helping clients move toward clearer goals and more manageable routine functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying your values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can help when worry, low mood, or sleep disruptions get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that can maintain anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to make sense of their own experience and set meaningful goals.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend strategies to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time based on what helps you most.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also supports practicing skills between meetings and bringing real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to remote sessions so the work stays focused on clear steps toward the goals you set together.
