The 45-year-old Friends star portrays the character of Jules Cobb, a newly-single mother of a 17-year-old son. In real life, husband David Arquette is eight years her junior.
Lawrence called the actress a "fearless comedian" and explained that parts of the role's traits are derived from Cox's own personality.
He told ABC News: "I think Courteney Cox is great at playing the comedy of discomfort. She's a fearless comedian.
"Courteney says what's on her mind. She sometimes doesn't have a filter. She's basically playing an exaggerated version of herself."
Cox recently said that Zac Efron would make "perfect" prey for real-life cougars.
Cougar Town debuts tonight at 9.30pm on ABC.
