Nuri Chaves, LMHC

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on helping people handle relationship strain, stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also offers professional coaching for those wanting practical steps toward lasting change.

He uses a collaborative, empathic style in sessions. He aims to create a respectful space where clients can be heard and understood. Therapy is shaped around each person's goals and day-to-day needs rather than a fixed script.

Nuri draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide the work. He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools and emotion-focused skills to help people notice what matters and build healthier habits. Attachment-informed perspectives also guide conversations about intimacy, trust, and relational patterns.

Sessions often focus on concrete skills for coping with stress, managing mood, and reducing compulsive behaviors. He helps clients practice new ways of responding to difficult emotions and set achievable steps toward recovery or life changes. He also uses coaching techniques to translate insight into action.

He works in English and Spanish and has experience across a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, body image, and chronic illness. For people worried about jealousy or trust, he helps identify patterns and build practical strategies to reduce distress and improve connection.

If you decide to start, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and ongoing relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or compulsive habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and intimacy issues and can be useful for people struggling with jealousy or connection problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will collaborate with the client to decide what methods to try. That conversation is ongoing and can change as progress is made and needs shift.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions, and approaches like ACT and CBT translate well to video or phone conversations. Confirm current session options to choose what fits your routine and goals.
