About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida with 10 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also supports clients dealing with career changes, ADHD, and transitions common in early adulthood.

He uses practical, evidence-informed methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. He combines approaches that include acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, cognitive-behavioral tools, and dialectical skills when helpful.

His background includes clinical counseling and professional coaching, so he blends problem-solving with longer-term change work. Conversations often look at patterns in relationships, how thoughts affect mood, and concrete steps for managing stress and cravings. He pays attention to how past experiences of abandonment or attachment difficulties show up in current relationships.

Nuri offers therapy in English and Spanish and works with people located in Florida as well as international clients. He frames sessions around what each person wants to change, helping set short-term targets and tracking progress over time. He also addresses issues like body image, blended-family dynamics, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and kink culture when these affect daily life.

To begin, he asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Nuri often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and moving forward despite difficult feelings, which can help with worry, low mood, and making life changes.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in how people relate to others. That approach helps when trust, intimacy, or abandonment issues affect close relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose techniques together. That collaborative process guides whether more cognitive-behavioral skill-building, acceptance strategies, or attachment-focused conversations will be used.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for people juggling school or work. Many clients find that working with a licensed professional remotely helps them practice new skills in their everyday routines.
