About Rowna

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, and other life changes.

She draws on straightforward, client-centered work to help people identify what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She views emotions, physical pain, and life circumstances as interconnected and looks at how one area affects another.

Rowna has worked across child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis intervention and counseling, active duty military settings, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. That range informs a flexible, pragmatic approach to common problems at home and work.

In sessions she uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to build coping skills, reduce reactive patterns, and support clearer choices about relationships and parenting.

People can expect a practical focus on small, achievable changes. Rowna combines coaching and psychotherapy methods to help clarify goals, develop routines, and manage setbacks. She offers telehealth sessions and works with people who want to fit therapy into busy everyday lives.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to become more aware of bodily sensations and emotions, which can be useful for stress, parenting strain, and anger.

Choosing the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or a mix is the best fit for the current problem.

The profile indicates she offers telehealth sessions, so confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is useful. They also let people use strategies learned in session in the settings where problems actually happen, such as at home with children or during a break at work.
