About Rowna
Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward, practical help for everyday struggles like grief, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Her style aims to leave people feeling more capable and clear about next steps.
Rowna draws on client-centered work and evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. She listens first, then helps identify small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She talks people through coping strategies, habit shifts, and ways to handle strong emotions without jargon. Her background includes child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, hospice work, and both inpatient and outpatient settings. That mix gives her an understanding of how health, stress, and life events interact.
She often notices how physical pain, sleep loss, or caregiving strain feeds into anxiety and mood problems. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps - building routines, improving communication, and managing urges or addictive behaviors. Rowna also uses mindfulness exercises and skills from cognitive and dialectical approaches to help people manage distress in the moment.
She provides telehealth sessions from Florida and works with clients in English, including international clients. Rowna frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people leave sessions with clear, doable tools.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still act in line with their values. It’s useful for anxiety, worry, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and sleep disruption. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to ground attention and reduce reactivity to stress and strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit your needs. Clients and therapist adjust strategies over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing skill practice, quick questions, and flexible check-ins between sessions. These options aim to fit therapy into real-life schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
