Rowna Showghi , LCSW

Rowna Showghi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers psychotherapy and coaching with a focus on helping clients build more fulfilling, manageable lives. With 19 years of experience as a mental health professional, she has supported people in a variety of settings including child welfare, psychiatric research, crisis intervention and counseling, active duty military care, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and hospice care.

Her clinical orientation emphasizes client-centered and solution-focused work, aiming to empower individuals by identifying practical strategies that fit their lives. She approaches care with the understanding that human systems are interconnected - for example, how chronic pain and anxiety can intensify each other - and she helps clients learn more about themselves so they can choose effective routines and coping habits.

Rowna works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among others. She is available for telehealth sessions and welcomes clients who prefer remote care. Rowna looks forward to collaborating with clients to clarify goals and develop approaches that support lasting improvement.

Approaches, Collaboration, and the Convenience of Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals, creating a supportive space where people can explore their experiences and build self-directed solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rowna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend strategies over time to best support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapy can also proceed through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend appointments around work, family, or travel, and help people access licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
