Rowna Showghi, LCSW

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people navigate major life shifts, including midlife questions. She frames sessions to focus on practical steps that reduce stress and increase everyday functioning. Her style aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Rowna brings 19 years of experience across settings such as child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis counseling, active duty military support, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice. That range shapes a flexible approach that adapts to each person's needs. She combines coaching and therapy to help people set clear goals and build routines that fit their lives.

Her work is influenced by client-centered principles and solution-focused thinking. In practice this means listening first, then collaborating on small, measurable changes. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness exercises when they suit the client's goals.

Clinical concerns commonly addressed include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image, and separation and divorce.

Rowna frames therapy as a joint process. She works with each person to identify what matters, try practical tools, and adjust plans over time. People who want clear next steps and a supportive coach-therapist blend may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It can be useful for midlife change, grief, anxiety, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship so clients can find their own solutions and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match the person's needs, and adjust the plan if something isn't working. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions remain relevant and practical.

Before booking, confirm which online session formats are currently offered since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing work between in-person appointments and helps maintain momentum during life transitions without promising a particular session type.
