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 supports career concerns and coaching for life transitions.

He centers sessions on empathy and respect. Nuri creates a collaborative space where people feel heard and understood. Treatment is shaped by each person's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Nuri draws from several practical approaches, including acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral tools. He helps people notice what matters to them and learn skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Sessions often focus on real-world habits. That can mean building coping skills for stress, managing strong emotions, planning next steps in recovery, or setting actionable career goals. He blends coaching ideas with therapeutic work to promote lasting change.

He works with issues around relationships, intimacy, grief, parenting concerns, trauma, and identity questions such as LGBT matters. Additional focus areas include ADHD, body image, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Nuri accepts international clients and tailors care to each person's cultural and life context. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and learning practical skills to change behavior and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying skills-based work, value-driven projects, or relationship-focused conversations depending on what matters most to the client.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep regular check-ins during life transitions, and allow shorter or more frequent visits when helpful. It can also support people who prefer working with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish or who accepts international clients. Discuss scheduling and session length during the initial matching process to find a plan that fits everyday life.
