About Rowna
Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience helping people navigate stressful and emotional life moments. She focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use to manage anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at making change feel possible and manageable.
She draws on client-centered care and solution-focused ideas to help people discover what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions often include working on small, concrete habits that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Rowna also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of goals. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are woven into her work to help clients tolerate difficult feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Dialectical ideas inform how she supports emotion regulation and stronger coping skills. The focus is on skills that can be practiced between sessions so progress continues outside the room. Rowna's background includes child welfare, crisis counseling, psychiatric research, inpatient and outpatient therapy, hospice, and work with active duty military.
That range helps her bring practical perspectives to complex problems. She values clear communication and collaborative planning. She offers telehealth services from Florida and works with people facing a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting stress, trauma, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and relationship or career challenges.
Her goal is to help clients figure out what works for them and build routines that support a fuller life.

Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and mood management. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm, supporting better emotion regulation and daily functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback about what is and isn't working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, phone calls can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is low, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule or changing needs.
