About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also offers coaching to help clients make meaningful life changes.

His style is warm and straightforward. He aims to listen first and understand each person's situation before suggesting steps forward. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that means learning new coping skills or making practical changes in daily life.

Nuri uses a mix of approaches to match a client's needs. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and client-centered listening to keep the work grounded in the client's experience. He also integrates attachment-based ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those fit the goals.

He has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, caregiver stress, and body image. He can support people dealing with life transitions, career questions, and compassion fatigue as well.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Nuri accepts international clients and combines talk therapy with practical tools. To begin, visitors are invited to complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, creating space for clients to lead the conversation and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and techniques fit a client's situation and goals. Sessions often mix methods so the work stays practical and relevant to what the client wants to change.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed or make it simpler to maintain continuity when life gets busy. Licensed professionals tailor online care to the client's goals and daily routines rather than promising a one-size-fits-all solution.
