Rowna Showghi, LCSW

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly two decades of experience in mental health. She offers a calm, practical approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Her work also includes support for caregiver strain and aging and geriatric issues.

Rowna draws on straightforward, person-focused methods to help people notice what matters and take small steps that add up. She emphasizes understanding how different parts of life interact, like how pain and anxiety can feed each other. Sessions aim to identify clear, doable actions that fit into daily life.

Her background spans child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, active duty military support, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice work. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to practical problems as well as emotional ones. Clients can expect a blend of listening, skill teaching, and collaborative problem solving.

Main approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered work. Rowna uses these tools to help with issues such as relationship strain, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and career stress.

She offers telehealth psychotherapy and coaching and welcomes people who want pragmatic, steady support while navigating change. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling to ensure a good match.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take committed action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing new, more helpful skills; it often helps with anxiety, mood, sleep, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to build insight and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rowna will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she can mix approaches as needed. The process is guided by what is useful for the individual's day-to-day life rather than a fixed protocol.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule and to maintain steady progress between sessions. Online work can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, or meet from wherever the person is located. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available and to choose what suits your routine best.
