About Nuri
Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support.
Background and approach
Nuri speaks English and Spanish and combines coaching with therapy to help clients move forward. He uses approaches that emphasize emotional connection and clear, do-able steps.
Sessions often include ways to notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills between meetings. Nuri aims for a calm, respectful tone and keeps conversations direct and focused on your goals.
Many clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction recovery. He also assists people facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, and challenges tied to parenting or career changes.
His practice includes work on self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life transitions. Other areas he can address include attachment issues, blended family concerns, body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and identity-related topics such as LGBT matters and kink-aware conversations.
He adapts methods to each person's situation and priorities. Nuri offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s needs shape the plan. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a person with the right session format.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication and reducing destructive interaction patterns. It often involves practical exercises to change how people argue, listen, and reconnect, which can be adapted for individual goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop more supported ways of relating and coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. That shared decision-making means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth days or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
