Nuri has worked with issues related to LGBT identity, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, adoption and foster care, and attachment concerns. He is comfortable addressing complicated or overlapping problems like co-morbidity and codependency. His practice includes attention to trauma, compassion fatigue, and bipolar-related coping strategies.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled from Florida. He aims to make therapy understandable and usable, helping people take small steps that add up to meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on small, meaningful behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds and can be useful for intimacy, attachment issues, and coping after loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is working and what feels useful.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video works well for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions, making therapy more flexible and accessible.
