About Emberlene

Emberlene "Ember" Cossette is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She centers care on people coping with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions, offering practical support for relationship and family concerns as well as compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused strategies, and she also draws on trauma-focused methods when indicated. Ember has an academic background in social work and psychological studies, and she emphasizes respect for each person’s lived experience while helping clients develop skills for day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.

She aims to collaborate with clients to identify concrete steps forward and to tailor interventions to current needs. Ember speaks English and practices under the WA LICSW LW61031684.

She offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and helps clients navigate subscription-based scheduling that can be adjusted according to availability.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Online Support

Ember integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional reactions, making it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy attends directly to the effects of past harm and helps people process traumatic memories and reduce ongoing symptoms related to abuse or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors whether CBT, trauma-focused interventions, or solution-focused elements are emphasized in treatment. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies feel most helpful as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints while still accessing licensed professionals who use structured, skills-based approaches.
