More about Emberlene
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
Emberlene Cossette is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in the state of Washington. She has worked in the mental health field for over 10 years providing mental and behavioral health treatment. Emberlene holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington, Tacoma. She graduated from Saint Martin’s University with honors and earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a focus on ethics and war trauma. Her time as a social worker led her to work with immigrants, detainees, individuals with disabilities, and people of diverse ages, genders, ethnicities, and cultures.
She believes that mental health, like physical health, is a right rather than a privilege and recognizes the importance of living a life of quality.
"I practice with the belief that despite our perception of aloneness, the cosmos is inherent in all humans. Our being lies not only within ourselves but in others and the natural world. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, states it more eloquently. "
‘The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that … exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy…. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.'

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ember is amazing, she is kind, compassionate and is helping me through a lot of my anxiety and traumas
I’ve had the privilege of working with Ember for the past month, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support. She listens with a nonjudgmental and professional approach, making me feel heard and understood. Her ability to balance empathy with practical guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate my challenges. Thanks to her, I now feel confident in the solutions we’ve developed together and equipped to handle life’s difficulties. While I’ve decided to end our sessions because I’ve reached a good place, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again in the future. I highly recommend Ember to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy.
Thus far Ember has gone above and beyond. I am relearning how to trust others again and she gives me a lot of hope that I can do that again. Thanks Ember!
Ember is great at letting me guide our sessions and asking great questions at the right time. I value that she is works to understand topics that she doesn't necessarily specialize in and is honest about her knowledge. In the areas she does specialize in she shows great knowledge and depth. She is easy to talk to and open up with and had never made me feel self conscious about myself. Highly recommend!
Great listener! Would highly recommend!
I found ember when I was at the lowest in my life, my wife & I had just separated and she filed for divorce. Ember helped me get through this as well as helped me deal with the mental and emotional aftermath, if it wasent for Embers help, I can't imagine what could have happened or where I would be right now.
Emberlene is a very empathic, supportive professional who listened intently to my concerns and offered valid means of support in ways that pleasantly surprised me. More importantly, I found her methods effective and useful. I strongly recommend her to anyone struggling with the mental, emotional, or spiritual health.
Ember has been a great therapist. She listens and supports my goals.
Ember helps me find my solutions. They are already within me, I just needed a tour guide.
She has been helping me a lot.
Ember is attentive and addresses things that are said during the session in such a way that allows us to dissect details that I previously hadn't considered before. I would highly recommend Ember to anyone utilizing Better Help or any platform they are available on.
Ember is compassionate and curious. I appreciate that she is willing to learn about topics that she has not encountered before and makes an effort to truly understand!
