About Davina
Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, relationship troubles, or changes in life. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, and she aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through what feels hard.
She uses practical methods that fit each person. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work and emotion-focused approaches.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills for managing intense feelings, steps to change unhelpful thinking, and ways to rebuild connection with others. Borges also supports people facing trauma, abuse, parenting strains, addiction concerns, and identity issues. She attends to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect current life.
This helps people understand recurring problems and try different ways of relating and coping. Her work blends a client-centered stance with structured techniques. She partners with clients to set clear goals and to track small changes over time.
Dialog and treatment plans are adjusted as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant. With six years of clinical experience, she aims to make the process feel manageable. She encourages steps that people can practice between sessions.
If someone is ready to explore change, she offers steady support and practical options to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then trying specific exercises to change them; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions and to rebuild connection in important relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and different challenges arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client read facial expressions and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be simpler when lower bandwidth is needed, and they can fit a break at work or a walk. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking skills, or for people who prefer writing instead of speaking. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
