About Rowna

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, addiction, and related issues including ADHD and parenting challenges.

She draws on a variety of therapy approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, learning practical skills, and finding small changes that make daily life easier. Rowna emphasizes understanding how different parts of life connect, such as how chronic pain and anxiety can feed each other.

Her background includes work in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis intervention and counseling, care for active duty military, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. That range informs a practical style that looks at problems from multiple angles. This helps when issues overlap or feel complicated.

In sessions she uses methods that help people notice patterns, build coping skills, and try new behaviors. Examples include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and client-centered conversation that keeps the person’s goals central. She also uses coaching strategies when helpful to set concrete next steps.

Rowna offers telehealth services and supports people who prefer remote sessions. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session so she can prepare to address immediate concerns and goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for social anxiety or panic. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s concerns and goals, using reflective conversation to clarify what matters most and guide next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rowna will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may evolve as therapy proceeds.

Her profile highlights telehealth services; please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep appointments during travel or relocation, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Working remotely also lets the therapist and client try tools such as mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and cognitive skill practice together during the session to support real-world change.
