About Rowna
Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 19 years of experience. She provides psychotherapy and coaching for adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, and a range of other life difficulties.
She has a background that includes child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis intervention and counseling, work with active duty military, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice care. That variety informs how she looks at problems: not as isolated issues but as parts of a person’s everyday life and routines.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered care alongside cognitive and behavioral methods. Sessions typically focus on identifying small, practical actions that can change how someone feels day to day. She also uses acceptance-based and mindfulness techniques to help people tolerate difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters to them.
In blended or stephousehold situations she pays attention to routines, role confusion, loyalty conflicts, and co-parenting strains. Conversations often include concrete communication strategies, boundary-setting, and ways to reduce household friction so daily life runs more smoothly.
Rowna frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people name patterns, try out different approaches, and build simple habits that support better sleep, mood, and relationships. Sessions can also include coaching elements aimed at specific goals like managing burnout or improving parenting skills.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action toward their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. That choice can shift as the work progresses and different tools are tried.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so work or family responsibilities are easier to manage. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Rowna brings her ACT, CBT, and mindfulness experience to remote sessions when that fits the person’s needs.
