About Nuri
Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He offers support in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Nuri uses practical, down-to-earth methods that focus on the person in front of him. Sessions aim to meet each person's goals, whether that means reducing panic, handling grief, or making a life change.
How Nuri works
He combines structured skills with attention to emotions and relationships. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means clients learn skills to change unhelpful thoughts, notice feelings without getting stuck, and strengthen close bonds where needed.
Work can include short-term strategies and longer-term exploration. Nuri also brings coaching experience for people who want to set clear goals and follow through. Conversations can cover career shifts, relationship choices, or managing burnout and compassion fatigue.
He keeps sessions focused on concrete steps and measurable progress. Parents and caregivers will find a therapist who listens to everyday pressures and gives usable strategies. He addresses concerns related to parenting, sleep, eating, body image, ADHD, and more.
The pace and topics are set by the client's needs and what feels most important to them.

How specific approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps people build stronger, healthier connections when relationships cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made so the plan feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions give flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
