About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on practical tools and steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He also helps with relationship strain, anger, grief, and life transitions.

He mixes straightforward talk with active listening to build a respectful, collaborative space. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and what matters most in their life. Nuri also offers coaching-style support for people trying to make clear, lasting changes in work or routine.

When addiction or substance concerns are part of the picture, he works to identify triggers, develop coping skills, and rebuild routines that support recovery. He uses methods that help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then take steps that match their values.

His approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those tools are applied in plain language so people can use them between sessions. He speaks English and Spanish, and can work with clients who live outside the United States.

To begin, he asks about what you want to change and what support fits your life. That conversation helps shape a plan you can try right away, with adjustments as progress and needs evolve.

How his approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep someone stuck. It is often used for anxiety, mood, and behavioral changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people in other states or countries to meet with a licensed professional when that is appropriate. Ask about the session lengths and formats available when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
