About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Cowen brings 23 years of clinical experience as a California psychologist to help people manage a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She combines rigorous training with a practical, client-centered orientation, offering care that draws on evidence-based therapies to address emotional, behavioral, and life-transition difficulties. Her background includes doctoral training at UCLA and advanced postdoctoral work in early childhood, which inform a nuanced understanding of developmental and relational dynamics.
Dr. Cowen integrates assessment-informed planning with approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and emotionally-focused strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s situation.
She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify personal values and build skills for coping, communication, and sustained change. Appointments are offered from her California practice and via multiple online formats.
Dr. Cowen aims to create a compassionate, thoughtful atmosphere where clients can explore concerns like self-esteem, intimacy-related struggles, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, chronic health challenges, and caregiving strain while working toward clearer goals and practical steps forward.
Approaches in Online Practice and How They Help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility by noticing difficult thoughts while taking action toward valued goals; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill training, which can aid depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and emotion regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns and emotional bonds, exploring how early and current relationships shape responses to intimacy, trust, and communication challenges.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to weigh goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns, adapting methods over time so the work feels tailored and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and access to licensed professionals without the need for travel, helping clients sustain therapeutic momentum across day-to-day life.
