Davina Borges

Davina Borges is a licensed independent mental health practitioner with six years of experience helping people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is hardest right now. People meet her for help with relationships, parenting strain, grief, addictions, and trouble sleeping. Her style is honest and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear conversation rather than labels. She combines cognitive-behavioral methods with attachment-focused and emotion-oriented work to fit each person’s needs. Davina draws on a mix of approaches to shape treatment plans. That might mean identifying thought patterns that fuel anger or practicing skills that calm intense reactions. She also pays attention to relationship patterns and early attachment issues that affect current behavior. She has supported people who experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse, and she works with concerns around identity, intimacy, and compulsive behaviors. Her background includes helping people with ADHD symptoms, mood shifts such as bipolar concerns, and substance use problems. Davina aims to empower people to make clearer choices and handle stressful moments differently. She asks questions, offers tools, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. If someone is ready to take a first step toward change, she helps them find a practical path forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current reactions and helps rebuild safer ways of connecting. It can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and patterns that fuel anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with strong feelings in the moment to change interaction patterns that cause pain. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Davina will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps decide which combination of approaches feels most useful. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person appointments. It can also let someone choose a simpler audio-only meeting if bandwidth is limited or a shorter session when time is tight. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine.
