About Nuri
Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, anger, and depression. He also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and major life changes.
His approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based methods, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on identifying important emotions, clarifying values, and building practical skills for day-to-day challenges. He also brings coaching strategies to help people take concrete steps toward life changes.
Nuri uses plain language in sessions and encourages direct conversation about what matters most to each person. He listens for patterns that contribute to repeated problems and then tries different ways of responding. That can include learning new coping skills, practicing different behaviors, or experimenting with new ways of communicating.
He works with people across many concerns including LGBT matters, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, body image and eating issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Additional focuses listed include abandonment and attachment issues, blended family concerns, and sexual diversity topics such as BDSM and kink.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Emotion-Focused and Acceptance-Based Work Translate Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings that drive relationship and personal patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice emotional triggers, practice new responses, and try different ways of relating with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small committed actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. ACT online can support developing values-based goals and brief exercises between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment-focused, or cognitive-behavioral techniques fit best. Goals, preferences, and the problems being addressed guide that choice, and the plan can change as therapy proceeds.
