Rowna Showghi

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly two decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, career concerns, grief, and life transitions. Her approach aims to build practical skills and a clearer sense of direction so people can move forward.

She draws on methods that center the person in the room. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client, identifying small steps that make daily life easier, and building routines that support long-term goals. That makes the work feel concrete and usable between appointments.

Rowna's background includes child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, work with active duty military, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. This range informs a flexible way of working across different challenges and stressors. She pays attention to how life circumstances interact with emotional and physical health.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. Conversations often include skill practice, reflective questions, and planning simple experiments to test new behaviors. She encourages noticing what works and adjusting strategies over time.

People who connect well with Rowna typically want practical steps and a steady partner in making changes. She offers telehealth services and aims to help clients build routines that improve daily functioning and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rowna uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps that match those values, often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry, or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. That collaborative process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

Rowna's practice offers telehealth services; please confirm which session formats are currently available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people connect from different locations and maintain continuity across life transitions.
