About Rowna

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She brings 19 years of experience and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. She often supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care related issues, and work or career stress.

Her approach centers on listening first and then building clear goals together. She uses client-centered methods to understand each person's priorities and cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are woven in to help manage strong emotions and difficult memories.

Rowna's background includes work in child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis intervention, active duty military settings, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice care. That variety informs a flexible, practical style aimed at everyday problems rather than overly technical language.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what will make a difference between visits. Clients can expect to practice skills, try small behavior changes, and check progress together. The goal is to build routines and coping strategies that fit into busy lives.

People who want straightforward, collaborative support for anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, addiction, ADHD, or caregiving stress may find this approach useful. Rowna works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients who can work across time zones.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing small changes to improve mood and functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to set goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rowna will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what felt helpful in the past. She treats approach selection as a partnership and may combine methods to match what a client needs in the moment.

The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule check-ins around work, reduce travel time, and use brief sessions for focused skill practice when time is tight. Licensed professionals can also use video or phone to guide mindfulness exercises, run behavioral experiments, and coach skill use between meetings.
