About Davina

Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also addresses parenting and family-related stress as part of her work.

Her tone in sessions is straightforward and respectful, aiming to create a space where people can start making changes without judgment. She blends talk-based tools with skills practice to help manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics.

The therapist adapts sessions to each person, matching methods to the problem at hand rather than using a single formula. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the client’s goals. Davina brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and holds the credential LIMHP, license number NE LIMHP 2496.

She works in English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability.

Costs vary by location and therapist availability, and services are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online therapy approaches for families and parenting concerns

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior. In practice this means looking at how connections with partners or caregivers shape stress responses and parenting reactions, and then practicing new ways of relating that reduce tension.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgment. That approach helps people feel heard, clarify their goals, and build motivation to try new strategies in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear, practical skills to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns by breaking problems into specific habits and thoughts to work on together.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so clients stay involved in choosing the direction of care.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on skills and conversations into daily life, whether someone prefers brief check-ins by message or longer video sessions for deeper work.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
