Rowna Showghi , LCSW

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who brings 19 years of clinical experience to her psychotherapy and coaching practice. She has supported people across a range of settings including child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis intervention and counseling, active duty military services, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice care. Her work combines psychotherapy and coaching to help clients build practical routines and increased sense of empowerment that support a higher quality of life.

Rowna emphasizes a client-centered and solution-focused approach, working from the view that human systems are interconnected. She often helps clients explore how physical symptoms like chronic pain and emotional responses such as heightened anxiety can influence one another, and she guides clients toward clearer self-understanding so they can identify what strategies will work best for them. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT issues, parenting and career challenges, among others.

Rowna values telehealth as a way to increase access to care and is pleased to offer remote sessions. She collaborates with each person to set achievable goals and to find sustainable approaches that fit their life and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their personal values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even while experiencing difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges with motivation by focusing on actions that align with what matters most.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration. The therapist creates a nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develops concrete strategies to change them. It is often effective for anxiety, depression, and insomnia by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rowna will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor methods that best fit their needs. The aim is to try strategies together and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life changes occur, while still working with licensed professionals who provide focused therapeutic support.
