Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapeutic Support

Nuri Chaves draws from several therapeutic approaches to tailor online work to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed in early life and how they affect current relationships, which is helpful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating a supportive space where clients guide the pace and focus of their work, often benefiting those seeking a respectful, strengths-based approach.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nuri works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
