About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction recovery, anger, and depression, and he also provides coaching for life transitions and career concerns.

He uses practical, evidence-informed techniques to address the patterns that start in childhood and affect adult life. That includes work on family of origin issues, attachment-related patterns, and how early roles shape current relationships. Sessions focus on understanding these patterns and on small, doable changes clients can try between meetings.

Nuri draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how connection and closeness affect mood and relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed.

People can expect a collaborative style that centers their goals and priorities. Nuri combines counseling and coaching to support both symptom relief and practical life changes. He offers services in English and Spanish and works with international clients as documented.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Nuri commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which helps when people feel stuck by anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and distance learned in early relationships and how they show up now, which is useful for relationship and family of origin concerns.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as needed. The process is collaborative and often mixes techniques so sessions address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and making consistent check-ins easier. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which online options are offered before booking. The subscription billing model used allows sessions to be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other commitments and can be canceled at any time.
