Rowna Showghi, LCSW

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. She offers a calm, practical approach aimed at helping people feel more empowered and steady. Her tone is direct and compassionate for someone looking for immediate support.

Rowna draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health settings. She has worked in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, active duty military settings, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. That background shapes how she notices connections between life areas, such as how pain can increase anxiety and how anxiety can worsen pain.

Her work emphasizes client-centered and solution-focused strategies. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person, identifying small workable changes, and building habits that support clearer choices and better daily functioning. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to fit each person’s needs.

Rowna also integrates coaching skills when people want practical plans for career, parenting, or life transitions. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and practices that can be repeated. The goal is to move toward a fuller, more livable day-to-day life.

People who connect with her often want straightforward guidance, a focus on real-world skills, and someone who respects the link between mind and body. She welcomes international clients and works from Florida as a licensed LCSW.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with mood, sleep, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; it is often brought into work with intense emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rowna works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss which techniques seem most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography notes a strong interest in telehealth, but specific online formats are not fully detailed here. Confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and make it simpler to continue care from another location. Working online still supports skill practice, goal setting, and step-by-step behavior change, while allowing licensed professionals to guide coping strategies and day-to-day routines.
