About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. Nuri also offers coaching to support clients making lasting life changes and focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns.

He emphasizes empathy, respect, and compassion in sessions. Nuri aims to build a collaborative space where clients feel listened to and understood. Treatment is shaped around each person’s goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions may draw from several approaches to fit the client's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-driven action when uncomfortable feelings arise. Attachment work addresses relational patterns that affect closeness and trust.

Nuri has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and issues around identity and sexuality. He also supports practical areas like sleep, eating, career concerns, and caregiver stress.

He speaks English and Spanish and works with people across different backgrounds. Nuri frames therapy as a process: clients set goals, try approaches that fit them, and refine the work as progress and setbacks occur. If someone is looking to make changes and wants a direct, collaborative counselor, he may be a good match.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and staying committed to life changes despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in relationships and early bonds to understand how they affect current trust and intimacy. It can help when past relational hurts show up in adult relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan as needed. You and the therapist decide together which tools and exercises move you toward the outcomes you want.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before scheduling. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue counseling when they are away from home or living in another region. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice skills between meetings and keep momentum during life transitions.
