About Rowna

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly two decades of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, and other challenges. Her tone is practical and supportive, aimed at people who want clear steps they can try between sessions.

Rowna draws on several well-known approaches to therapy. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice hard thoughts and act on their values. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered ideas to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities.

Her background includes child welfare work, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, hospice care, and experience with active duty military. That mix of settings has shaped a flexible, problem-solving style. Sessions combine listening with straightforward strategies to reduce distress and increase daily functioning.

Rowna believes small, consistent changes add up. Together with clients she sets goals that fit their life and routines. She offers telehealth options and welcomes people who want a practical, values-focused path toward better emotion management and life balance.

Her practice is based in Florida, and she provides services in English. Rowna aims to help people build routines that support a higher quality of life and greater emotional balance.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought that raise distress and practicing different behaviors to change outcomes. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals and experience at the center, with the therapist offering empathic listening and guidance.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That process often starts with small experiments in-session and homework that tests what helps in real situations.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, particularly when commuting is difficult or time is limited. Online options can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or a shorter check-in when needed. Because formats are not fully detailed in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking to be sure they match your needs and routine.
