About Rowna

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach aims to help people feel more in control and move toward daily routines that support wellbeing.

With 19 years in mental health, she has worked in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, active duty military settings, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice.

Background and approach

Those experiences shape a broad view of how life circumstances affect mood, behavior, and relationships. She draws on that background when listening and planning treatment. Rowna uses therapies that center the person and teach skills people can use right away.

She often combines Client-Centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. When useful, she also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping tools and improve emotional regulation. Her sessions typically emphasize clear goals, simple routines, and small changes that add up over time.

She pays attention to how physical health, relationships, and daily demands interact with mental health. This helps identify realistic steps that fit a client's life. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process.

She works to understand each person's priorities, then helps create plans that match their values and schedule. The focus is on practical progress and finding what works for each individual.

Approaches Rowna names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Rowna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help when worries or difficult feelings are getting in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will listen to goals, try practical exercises, and adjust methods based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. The therapist and client make decisions together about what to practice between sessions and how to pace progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching and brief reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping momentum on goals.
