About Davina
Davina Borges is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those managing ADHD, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her tone is direct and respectful, and she works with people who want practical change more than labels.
Davina uses a collaborative, straightforward style in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps toward improvement.
Background and approach
She avoids stigmatizing language and adapts her approach to each person’s situation and goals. Her clinical background blends cognitive behavioral methods with attachment-based and emotionally-focused perspectives. That means she helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, repair important relationships, and name emotions so they can be managed more effectively.
She draws on techniques that match each client’s needs rather than a single fixed method. With six years of experience as a LIMHP, Davina has supported people through parenting difficulties, career transitions, mood disorders, and compulsive behaviors. She pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, and complex grief reactions when those matters come up in therapy.
Sessions may include skills practice, reflective conversation, and problem-solving tailored to daily life. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better coping skills. Davina invites people who are ready to take steps toward change to begin a practical, person-focused process.
How these approaches work online
Davina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing skills that change daily routines and reactions. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping skills practice. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating and communicating, which can ease relationship and intimacy concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That shared decision-making means techniques can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing support between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied day-to-day demands.
