About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns and those wanting coaching for life changes.

He uses a mix of practical, person-centered techniques. Sessions are collaborative and guided by what matters most to each person. Nuri aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and can work toward realistic goals.

Over the past decade he has worked with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and codependency. He also helps people with caregiving strain, chronic illness issues, body image, and sexual culture matters such as kink and BDSM when relevant to their goals.

Nuri draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He blends these approaches to match a person’s needs rather than using a single method.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and Nuri accepts international clients. He emphasizes clear, practical steps in therapy and partners with people to build skills that fit daily life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult emotions and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, codependency, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral changes; it often helps with anxiety, stress, sleep, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help people understand intimacy, relationship struggles, and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nuri will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and situation. He adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone join without being on camera if that feels easier. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills in everyday settings and maintain continuity through life transitions.
