About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Cowen is a California psychologist with 23 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, grief, and relationship concerns. She approaches difficult life moments with steady attention and practical strategies. Her work often includes issues such as trauma and abuse, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress.
She trained at UCLA for her doctorate and completed postdoctoral specialization in early childhood. That background informs how she assesses problems and matches interventions to each person. She draws from approaches that focus on values, thoughts and feelings, and relationships to help clients move forward.
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. People can expect conversations that name patterns, try new ways of responding, and build routines that fit daily life. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase choices, not just to talk about problems.
She has experience with neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism spectrum issues, and works with people who face chronic illness, caregiving strain, or complex grief. Dr. Cowen uses what fits each person rather than a single fixed method.
Her approach treats clients as partners in the work. She offers a mix of evidence-informed techniques and relational support to help people clarify values, handle setbacks, and practice new behaviors that lead to steady progress.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, depression, and managing difficult emotions by teaching practical strategies to act despite discomfort.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and recurring interaction styles so they can try different ways of relating in important relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then combine methods that fit their needs. That partnership helps shape a plan that is realistic and change-focused.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work. It can also be a practical way to continue consistent weekly work during transitions. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what to expect.
