Rowna Showghi

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly two decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and the many shifts that follow major life changes. Her style aims to be practical and respectful of each person's situation.

She draws on straightforward, client-centered work. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Together they identify small steps that can be tried between sessions to reduce distress and build routines that feel doable.

Rowna blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness skills. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and practice new behaviors. Dialectical skills and motivational interviewing are also used when helpful for emotion regulation and change work.

Her background includes child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, work with active duty military, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. Those experiences shape a flexible approach that adapts to real life demands and complicated situations.

Rowna offers psychotherapy and coaching-style support for clients who want to build coping skills, navigate transitions, or address ongoing challenges like addiction, ADHD, eating or sleeping difficulties, and caregiver strain. She accepts international clients and works from Florida as a licensed clinician.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce distress; it often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using active listening and collaboration so goals come from the client rather than the clinician.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rowna collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. Goals, life demands, and what has or has not helped in the past inform those choices, and plans are adjusted as progress is tracked.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when there is less time, and let people practice skills where they live and work. Therapists can use guided exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices between meetings so skills transfer into everyday routines.
