Davina Borges , LIMHP

Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals facing parenting challenges, trauma or abuse, addiction, ADHD, and a range of life transitions. Davina aims to create a respectful and nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly and begin practical change.

Her approach blends clear, goal-focused strategies with a warm, client-centered stance. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns. Emotion-focused methods help when feelings feel overwhelming, and dialectical skills support emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Davina draws on six years of clinical experience working with people across many concerns, including grief, intimacy issues, body image, and compassion fatigue. She describes her style as collaborative and direct, tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs. The LIMHP credential indicates licensed independent practice in Nebraska.

Practical work in sessions includes skill-building, problem-solving, and reflective conversation about past and present experiences. She also addresses specific topics such as adoption and foster care histories, hoarding, substance use, and kink-related concerns when they are relevant to a person’s goals.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback, an emphasis on usable tools, and a focus on small changes that add up. Davina encourages people to take the first step toward feeling better and offers support while they do the work.

Approach and online options for therapy

The work often draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and helps people change repeating dynamics. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can direct the pace of growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying skill-based CBT tools for anxiety, exploring attachment patterns for relationship concerns, or blending techniques to address trauma and emotion regulation.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when someone prefers typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while working with a licensed professional.
