Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience.

Nuri approaches therapy with empathy, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He aims to build a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and understood.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person's situation and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches guide how he works with relationship and intimacy concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Nuri works with many concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, and career transitions. He also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, caregiver stress, body image, and chronic health challenges.
He can discuss specialty topics like adoption and attachment questions when relevant. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients. Therapy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect someone to him.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful for intimacy, relationship strain, and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what a client wants to change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
