Nuri Chaves, LMHC

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck by listening closely and working alongside them to set practical goals. His style is warm and straightforward, aimed at building trust so clients can address what matters most to them.

He often helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and issues around addiction and recovery. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, grief, and life transitions. Traumatic brain injury appears among his areas of focus, and he incorporates that context into treatment planning when relevant.

Nuri draws from several approaches to shape sessions. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy inform practical skills for managing thoughts, moods, and emotions. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide the relational side of therapy.

Work with him tends to be collaborative and goal oriented. He blends coaching techniques when clients want support making specific life or career changes. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and paced to their needs.

He offers services in English and Spanish. Prospective clients from outside the U.S. may connect as he accepts international clients. To begin, readers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches guide online therapy choices

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change them, which can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can be helpful when relationship dynamics or trust issues get in the way of recovery.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which strategies to try first. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed, so the plan can change based on what is most helpful.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports working through practical skills, values-based goals, and relationship patterns from wherever the client can focus best. Licensed professionals will work with clients to find a rhythm and structure that fits their life and goals.
