About Nuri
Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings ten years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction. He also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, and ADHD.
Clients can expect straightforward, respectful sessions where their goals guide the work. Nuri emphasizes listening first, then building practical plans that fit each person's life. He describes therapy as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Background and approach
His background blends clinical counseling and coaching. That combination helps when someone wants symptom relief and also wants to make concrete life changes. He uses methods that teach skills for daily living as well as ways to understand emotional patterns.
Nuri draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and Cognitive Behavioral strategies. In sessions he helps people notice what matters to them, practice new behaviors, and reframe unhelpful thoughts. These methods are used flexibly depending on the issue at hand.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can include talking through challenges, setting small achievable goals, and practicing coping techniques. Nuri works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, career stress, caregiving strain, and issues related to self-esteem. He invites people to begin by describing what feels most urgent and what they hope to change.
From there he and the client decide on a plan and pace that feels manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them. It uses mindful noticing and committed action to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes. It is useful for mood, anxiety, sleep, and managing daily routines and habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nuri will discuss different methods with each person and choose options based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be a lighter check-in or an option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or messaging fits shorter updates or when typing feels easier. These formats let people access therapy across time zones, fit sessions into work or caregiving schedules, and keep momentum between meetings.
