About Nuri
Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, depression, and relationship difficulties. He also provides coaching for clients who want to make practical life changes.
He uses an empathetic and respectful approach in sessions. Conversations are collaborative and centered on what matters most to each person. The aim is to identify everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way, and to try small, doable changes that fit into daily life.
Nuri draws from several well-known therapy styles, including cognitive behavioral work to notice and shift thoughts, acceptance-based ideas to handle uncomfortable feelings, and attachment-focused approaches to understand relationship patterns. He mixes these approaches to suit the goals a person brings to therapy.
Sessions often include skill practice, goal-setting, and grounded conversation about real situations. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting strain, workplace stress, and issues related to identity and intimacy. He speaks English and Spanish and can adapt how he works to match cultural or language needs.
People who reach out are guided through a clear start: a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that aligns with the therapist's availability. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact, and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns that affect daily routines and habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and how early connections shape current behavior, which can be useful for intimacy concerns, relationship stress, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean mixing ideas from different approaches and adjusting as work progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people work in the language they prefer, such as English or Spanish, and supports consistent practice of skills between sessions.
