Annette Christensen

Annette Christenson is a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Evanston, WY. Annette specializes in helping clients with deep feelings of shame, guilt, fear, regret, and disappointment. Her clients seek additional support as they take steps towards alleviating their anxiety. This anxiety often keeps them up at night and makes it difficult to maintain close, healthy relationships with others. Annette also works with clients who suffer from depression, which can leave them feeling depleted, isolated, and without motivation. Sometimes, Annette’s clients develop anxiety or depression as a result of traumatic experiences like abuse, neglect, or loss.

Annette offers clients a warm, collaborative space to talk through their feelings. She teaches clients how to feel grounded in their bodies and surroundings through mindfulness therapy practices. She also incorporates the evidence-based therapy modality Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients address self-defeating thought patterns. These thought patterns can appear as self-criticism or judgment. Annette encourages clients to pay close attention to their bodies and how they feel, especially when they’re ruminating, worrying, or feeling low. By strengthening the mind-body connection, clients begin to recognize patterns and they can take action to address those patterns.

Annette earned a Master’s degree from the University of Phoenix. She has over ten years of experience as a therapist and working in the mental health field. Annette aims to make all clients feel welcome and affirmed in sessions with her, as she knows how scary it can be to reach out for help.
