About Davina

Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska who offers thoughtful, collaborative care for people facing a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting difficulties, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, and neurodivergent needs such as ADHD. Her practice also addresses grief, intimacy and sexual health questions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career-related transitions.

Her therapeutic stance is honest, respectful, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing sensitivity and compassion over stigmatizing labels. Davina blends practical tools and deeper exploration by integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques with client-centered and attachment-informed work, tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs.

She aims to empower clients to build skills, process difficult experiences, and discover clearer pathways forward. If someone is ready to begin change, Davina offers steady support and collaborative guidance throughout the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your needs

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and dialogue with the different parts of themselves so that conflicted feelings, protective reactions, and past wounds can be understood and eased. This approach can be useful for trauma-related patterns, intense emotions, and self-criticism. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses, giving practical pathways to improve connection, trust, and regulation when relationship patterns feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so that people feel heard and can move toward self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Davina works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. That collaborative exploration helps shape whether sessions emphasize parts work, relational patterns, skill-building, or a blend of approaches.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match varying schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different therapeutic rhythms, and access support from home or work while working with licensed professionals who tailor the work to each person’s situation.
