Nuri Chaves, LMHC

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) working in Florida. He brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and depression. He also offers coaching for life changes and supports people facing grief and trauma.

He uses straightforward, compassionate care. Sessions start with understanding what matters most to the client. From there he tailors practical goals and steps to fit everyday life. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide the work.

Nuri helps people build skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication. He offers strategies for coping with burnout, compassion fatigue, and persistent worry. For intimacy-related concerns and sexual dysfunction he talks through patterns, expectations, and practical ways to reconnect.

He also supports those navigating identity and LGBTQ questions, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and changes tied to aging or major life transitions. His additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image, autism and Asperger syndrome, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability. The work emphasizes clear steps, steady support, and goals that matter to each person.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavioral changes, which suits worries, low mood, and many everyday patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connections and helps people understand and change long-standing interaction patterns that affect intimacy and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort, and needs. That decision can shift over time as progress is made or new issues come up.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, maintain continuity while traveling, reduce time spent commuting, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused methods in remote sessions, adapting exercises and homework so people can practice skills between meetings.
