About Davina

Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner in Nebraska who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, trauma, and a range of other life disruptions.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to offer practical, respectful support that meets people where they are and honors each person’s story. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward, blending cognitive and humanistic ideas with emotion-focused and sensory-informed techniques to craft an individualized plan.

She emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening while encouraging skills-based work to address patterns that contribute to distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the methods she uses to help clients examine thinking patterns and develop tools for change.

Davina focuses on tailoring conversations and interventions to each client’s needs rather than relying on labels. She aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes in areas such as grief, intimacy concerns, body image, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and coping after abuse or loss.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Davina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work, focusing on how early and present-day relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior and helping clients build more stable connections and emotional insight.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Davina treats it as a collaborative conversation. She will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as trust and clarity grow so the work matches each person’s needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to continue momentum between meetings, while offering multiple ways to communicate depending on what a client finds most helpful.
