About Rowna
Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, ADHD, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Rowna draws on client-centered methods and practical strategies. She uses plain talk to help people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. That may mean tracking reactions, trying small behavior changes, or practicing new ways to respond under pressure.
Her background includes child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, work with active duty military, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. Those roles shaped a straightforward approach to high-stress situations and grief. She also blends acceptance-focused and cognitive tools when helpful.
In sessions she helps people make sense of how parts of their life connect - for example how pain, sleep, or work stress can feed anxiety and anger. The focus is on practical adjustments that fit daily routines. She and the client set realistic steps to try between visits and review what helps.
Rowna also offers coaching-style support for people wanting focused skill building around coping, communication, or career stress. To begin she asks about current struggles and goals, then suggests an initial plan to work toward clearer, more manageable responses.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Rowna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with ongoing anger, anxiety, and life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes that reduce reactivity. CBT supports practical skill building for stress, sleep, and mood issues.Finding the best fit is part of the work. Rowna collaborates with each person to figure out which approach or mix of approaches suits their goals and preferences. She will check in about what is helping and adjust techniques as progress is made.
Her biography highlights telehealth as a way she offers services, so please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Therapists can also use video or phone work to practice skills you can apply at home or work, and to review short exercises between sessions.
