Nuri Chaves, LMHC

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. He focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also offers coaching to help clients make concrete life changes.

He creates a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and priorities. He listens closely and works with clients to set clear, manageable steps.

Nuri draws on several therapy approaches to match the needs of the person in the room. That can mean using practical skills to reduce overwhelming thoughts, exploring how attachment patterns affect relationships, or helping people notice their values and take actions that matter. He adapts methods to fit the situation rather than following a single formula.

Over a decade in the field has involved helping people face grief, trauma, identity and LGBT issues, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and work-related burnout or compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image and sexual health topics such as kink or BDSM when that is part of the concern.

Nuri offers sessions in English and Spanish and sees clients in Florida. He combines practical skill-building with a warm, client-centered stance so people leave with tools they can use between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are painful. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and navigating big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; it can help people understand why certain interactions trigger strong reactions and how to shift those patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made, so the client stays involved in decisions about their care.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions often make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can work on goals between commitments. Licensed professionals commonly use a mix of conversation, guided exercises, and homework that translate well to remote settings, helping clients apply new skills in everyday life.
