About Nuri

Nuri Chaves is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who brings a decade of clinical experience to his work.

Background and approach

He integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) with evidence-based methods to help clients understand internal parts, strengthen self-leadership, and address patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship strain. His background also includes professional coaching to support practical life changes alongside therapeutic work.

Chaves offers a collaborative, client-centered stance rooted in empathy, sensitivity, and respect. Treatment plans are individualized and may draw on cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-informed perspectives, and acceptance-based practices to address depression, grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of other challenges.

He works with issues spanning eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and more. Sessions are available in both English and Spanish, and Chaves accepts international clients.

He frames therapy as a partnership focused on concrete goals and personal growth, guiding clients through coping with life changes, managing emotions, and pursuing healthier relationships and wellbeing.

Integrating trusted approaches for online therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites exploration of the different parts inside a person and works to cultivate a calm, compassionate leader within; this approach can be helpful for clients coping with anxiety, addiction patterns, or internal conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values, accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can assist with stress, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns and early attachment experiences to improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance means techniques may be combined or adjusted over time to support practical progress and personal insight.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel, and they allow continuity of care for clients in different locations or who prefer remote options.
