About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings ten years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. Nuri also uses coaching skills to support practical life changes and clearer next steps.

He works from a client-centered stance that emphasizes empathy and respect. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and are shaped around individual goals. Nuri aims to create a collaborative space where people feel heard and understood.

His work draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas. That means clients can expect a blend of practical skills, values-driven goals, and attention to relationship patterns. The methods are tailored to the problem at hand rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Nuri has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD concerns, body image and intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to chronic illness and caregiving. He also helps with career questions, compulsive behaviors, and compassion fatigue. He speaks English and Spanish, which can make it easier for bilingual clients to connect.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, so clients can adjust their plan as needed.

Online approaches that fit your goals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take values-based action. It teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and move toward meaningful goals even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and moods interact and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy, trust, and trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays focused and useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose a therapist who speaks their language or has relevant experience even if they live elsewhere.
