About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Cowen is a California psychologist with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and related life changes. Dr. Cowen’s background includes a doctoral degree from UCLA and postdoctoral work in early childhood, and she uses that experience when assessing and planning care.
Her approach mixes practical, research-based tools with careful assessment. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered work, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when these approaches fit a person’s goals. Sessions often begin by clarifying current problems, testing what helps, and adjusting strategies based on results.
Dr. Cowen works with people who are navigating transitions such as bereavement, illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care issues, and changes tied to aging. She also supports those dealing with body image, eating and sleeping problems, chronic pain or illness, and work-related stress or compassion fatigue. She has experience with neurodivergent presentations including ADHD and autism spectrum differences.
Her style emphasizes clear feedback, structured exercises, and practical problem-solving. Clients can expect focused conversations about thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, with homework or practice tasks to try between sessions. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Dr. Cowen practices in California as CA Psychologist 30923 and conducts work in English. For information about session options and scheduling, follow the site’s match and booking process.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment work in online sessions
Dr. Cowen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and tests small changes to see what works for daily life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and accept difficult feelings while taking value-driven actions. Attachment-Based approaches look at relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve communication and closeness when that is a client goal.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and pick methods to try. Plans are adjusted based on what helps in practice rather than on fixed promises.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means exercises and worksheets can be shared and reviewed between meetings to support consistent practice.
