About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of experience helping people navigate life changes. He focuses on practical, real-world support for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and relationship concerns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented so people leave with tools they can use right away.

He blends several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based choices when change feels hard. Attachment-based work looks at patterns that shape how people relate to others.

Nuri also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to ensure each person feels heard. He has experience supporting those facing grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with life changes. He also works with people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and body image challenges.

He speaks English and Spanish and has worked with people from varied backgrounds over his career. Nuri approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he tailors treatment to the goals each person brings. If someone wants direct tools, collaborative planning, and steady support through transitions, he aims to provide that kind of care.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with life changes and stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It often includes homework like tracking thoughts or practicing skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people recognize how early bonds affect current interactions, which can improve intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it matches real life.

Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets in between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
