About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also supports clients with coaching for life changes and with issues like grief, self-esteem, and sleep difficulties.

He aims to build sessions around what matters to each person. Conversations focus on concrete steps and skills, not just talk. He listens in English and Spanish, and accepts international clients.

Nuri draws on several practical therapies to guide his work. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action in line with them.

Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches influence how he handles relationships and connection. These methods steer sessions toward clear feedback and attention to how past patterns affect current interactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are also used when people need emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Sessions typically address immediate problems and build skills for everyday life. Nuri also brings experience with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, body image, and caregiver stress. The emphasis is on practical strategies people can try between sessions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. It often helps with persistent worry, avoidance, and trouble making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for social anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep problems going.

Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centered principles shape how conversations address relationships and connection, with attention to past patterns and respectful listening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and needs change.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Some clients choose video for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer phone when bandwidth or camera time is an issue. Licensed professionals can discuss which option will best support your goals and schedule.
