About Davina
Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska who primarily works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She supports people struggling with trauma, relationship problems, addiction, ADHD, grief, and issues around intimacy or self-esteem. Her tone is direct and collaborative, aimed at helping practical change for daily life.
Davina uses clear conversation and goal-focused work. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-informed thinking to untangle relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and shift painful feelings. Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person as an individual.
Sessions are tailored to what someone needs right now, whether that means skills practice, focused conversations, or exploring past experiences that still affect daily life. With six years of clinical experience, Davina has supported people dealing with family-of-origin problems, adoption and foster care concerns, first responder stress, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses eating and sleeping issues, hoarding, and substance use concerns alongside mood and anxiety disorders. Sessions are offered in English and provided by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How attachment and cognitive approaches work online
Davina often uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape reactions today. This approach helps when someone struggles with trust, closeness, or repeating painful relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and managing ADHD-related difficulties.Choosing an approach is a shared decision. Davina works together with each person to try methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She may introduce skills from CBT, then pair those with emotionally focused work if deeper relationship patterns come up. The plan can shift as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video works well for in-depth conversations and reading emotional cues. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and day-to-day coaching possible without being on camera. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can get consistent support while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
