About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings 10 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also offers coaching to help people make lasting life changes.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled online through the platform. Nuri aims to build a collaborative space where people feel listened to and respected. He uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

He also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationships and patterns of connection come up. In sessions he focuses on practical steps that fit a person’s life. That might mean learning new coping skills, trying different ways to respond in tense moments, or practicing acceptance of difficult feelings.

He keeps goals concrete and works with each person’s priorities. Over his career he has supported people dealing with grief, intimacy questions, parenting challenges, body image and identity issues, and caregiving stress. He also has experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics.

His background includes work with addiction and relapse prevention. People who choose him can expect a calm, respectful tone and an approach that adapts to their needs. He helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress in ways that matter to them.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then committing to actions that match a person’s values. ACT can help when people feel stuck by worry or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them with practical experiments and behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful when trust or closeness is part of the concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments. For many people, the ability to connect from home or while traveling reduces barriers to getting support and helps maintain regular momentum toward their goals.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
