About Davina
Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. Her tone is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
Davina uses a collaborative style and builds a plan with each person. Conversations center on what is happening now and what small changes might make things feel easier.
How Davina works
She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion. Her background includes six years helping people after trauma and abuse, and assisting those with attention challenges, bipolar mood concerns, sleep or eating problems, and grief. She also supports people facing career pressure, compassion fatigue, and complex family-of-origin issues.
Those presenting with substance use or co-occurring concerns can work on practical coping strategies and safety planning. In sessions she blends methods that fit the person and the problem. That can include exploring attachment patterns, looking at thoughts and behaviors, building emotional skills, and focusing on the immediate problems that are causing the most distress.
The goal is useful work that can be applied between appointments. Davina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. She works in English and practices in Nebraska as an LIMHP.
If someone wants to begin, the process starts with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Davina often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand repeating relationship cycles and how emotional bonds influence reactions to stress. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.Choosing which method to use is a team decision. The therapist will ask about current concerns, goals, and preferences, then propose an approach to try. That plan is reviewed and adjusted over time so the work stays relevant to what the person needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps maintain momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
