About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Cowen is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 30923) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, grief, trauma and anger. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, relationship and family issues, sleep and eating problems, and career or coaching questions.
She trained at UCLA and completed postdoctoral work focused on early childhood. That background informs how she assesses needs and matches approaches to each person. She uses evidence-based methods and standard assessment practices when they help clarify a problem.
In sessions she blends approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based ideas to address difficult thoughts and reactions. She also draws on attachment-focused and emotionally-focused work when relationships and connection are central to the problem. The tone is practical and direct - the work centers on identifying patterns, testing new ways of responding, and learning skills that can be used day to day.
Dr. Cowen has experience with neurodivergent adults, including ADHD and autism spectrum concerns, and with people facing complex medical or caregiving stress. When family collaboration makes sense she will coordinate with others to support progress. She provides care in English and practices from California.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Cowen uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in practical, down-to-earth ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings, clarifying values, and taking committed actions even when emotions are strong. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns shape anger and intimacy concerns.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the specific problems that bring them to therapy. From there she helps craft a plan that may include skills practice, behavioral experiments, or work on relationship patterns depending on what fits best.
