About Nuri

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

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Conversations are grounded in empathy, respect, and sensitivity so people feel heard.

In practice he aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. That can mean learning practical skills for coping with strong emotions, trying new ways of responding in relationships, or setting step-by-step goals for recovery and growth. He adjusts strategies based on how someone is doing and what they want to achieve.

He has worked with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and burnout from caregiving or work. He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns as part of broader life challenges.

Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. The focus is on clear communication and realistic steps clients can use between sessions. To begin, people are encouraged to choose what feels most relevant and take the next scheduling step.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small actions toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting hooked. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safer in connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean using one approach for learning new skills and another for exploring relationship patterns, or mixing techniques over time.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, coaching tasks, and skill practice to an online setting so clients can apply them between sessions and measure progress over time.
