About Rowna

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and codependency. She offers a calm, straightforward presence and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She works with clients facing life transitions, addiction concerns, ADHD, caregiver strain, and issues around self-esteem and body image.

With 19 years of experience in mental health, she has worked in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, care for active duty military, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. That range informs a flexible approach that draws on different methods to match each person's needs. She emphasizes understanding how life systems interact, for example how chronic pain and anxiety can feed each other.

Her practice centers on client-centered and solution-focused work, with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions tend to focus on identifying what matters to the client, then building small routines and skills that fit daily life. She also integrates coaching elements when clients want clearer goals and action plans.

Rowna invites a collaborative relationship. She helps people learn more about themselves so they can decide what to try next. Her aim is to support changes that improve overall quality of life and increase a sense of empowerment.

She provides services from Florida and speaks English. International clients are accepted; confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and help people notice patterns without judgment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying an ACT exercise one week and a CBT skill the next, then deciding what feels most helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-in meetings during a lunch break, audio-only calls when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions for deeper conversation. These practical choices help people keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
