Nuri Chaves, LMHC

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He has over 10 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and relationship struggles. He also offers coaching to support people making meaningful life changes.

He works in a respectful, compassionate way that centers each person's goals. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace that feels right. Nuri aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood.

He draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance-based tools to build values-driven action. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on relationship patterns and intimacy issues. Dialectical and client-centered approaches are also part of his toolbox.

Over his career he has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, chronic illness, ADHD, bipolar concerns, body image, and sexuality-related matters. He also lists aging and geriatric issues among his additional focus areas.

Nuri offers therapy in English and Spanish and has experience across clinical and coaching contexts. He aims to match his approach to each person's needs and to help clients develop practical skills they can use outside of sessions.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new ways of relating in their close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as new priorities and needs emerge.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can help therapy fit into a busy life by removing travel time, making scheduling more flexible, and allowing shorter check-ins when useful. It can also make it easier to include coaching-style tasks between sessions and to practice skills in real-world settings. Licensed professionals adapt tools like ACT and CBT for remote sessions so clients can use exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments outside of appointments.
