Rowna Showghi, LCSW

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and offers practical steps so concerned parents can feel understood and find direction quickly.

Rowna draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health. Her background includes work in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, inpatient and outpatient settings, hospice, and with active duty military populations. She blends coaching and psychotherapy to focus on clear goals and steady progress.

In sessions she uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and acceptance-based ideas. She aims to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way, then try small changes to test what helps. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical approaches are added when helpful to manage intense emotion or ongoing stress.

Her approach treats problems as connected parts of life. For example, pain and anxiety often feed each other; Rowna helps people untangle those links and try practical adjustments. She emphasizes routines and real-world actions that can improve daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Rowna offers telehealth sessions and coaching that focus on empowerment and workable strategies. She partners with each person to set reasonable goals and build steps they can use between sessions.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Rowna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take actions that matter despite discomfort.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life demands. Sessions often combine conversation, skill practice, and short between-session tasks so progress is steady and measurable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer check-ins, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent momentum.
