About Nuri
Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger-related challenges, and depression. He also offers coaching to help clients make practical life changes and meet personal goals.
He uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and learning ways to handle strong emotions and difficult situations.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to match what the client can manage in the moment. Chaves emphasizes empathy and respect while listening closely to each person’s story. He aims to create a calm, collaborative space where clients can talk honestly about what’s bothering them.
Goals and strategies are shaped together so progress feels meaningful and realistic. He draws on techniques that help people notice their thoughts, try new behaviors, and strengthen important relationships. When helpful, he adds coaching-style guidance to support changes in work, routines, or habits.
The emphasis is on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are available in formats that fit different schedules and needs. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, then schedule appointments according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, relationship strain, and trauma-related reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client nd their situation. Choices about techniques are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day or to keep a running conversation between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum while working toward their goals.
