About Davina
Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make sessions feel like a steady, practical conversation for people weighing big changes or daily struggles. Davina focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, and relationship strain.
She also helps with parenting stress, career pressure, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and the emotional effects of trauma or abuse.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years working with a mix of presenting problems and life transitions. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions center on listening without judgment, naming what matters, and finding small, doable steps that fit each person's life.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion. Davina draws from Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. She tailors conversation and practical strategies to the issue at hand rather than using a single script.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and problem solving. The plan evolves over time to match goals and changing needs. Davina aims to support people who want clearer thinking, better coping, and more satisfying day-to-day functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for people located in Nebraska.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Davina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How her approaches translate to online care
Davina uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and reframe the stories they tell about their lives; this can reduce shame and open new choices. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify patterns in relationships and build steadier emotional connections, which helps with intimacy, grief, and relationship stress. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the person's goals and rhythm, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection rather than a scripted plan.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Davina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and longer work on emotion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good choice for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins, real-time problem solving, or ongoing skill coaching between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
