About Robin
Robin Livingston-Richter is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, young adults, parents, and teenagers on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating and body-image issues, and anger.
Robin draws on straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. She teaches mindfulness and intentional living practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
In her work she emphasizes practical strategies and real-world habits. That can mean learning short coping tools for high-stress moments, building routines around sleep and eating, or trying small behavior changes that ease day-to-day tensions. She also offers coaching-style support for organization and success strategies for students, parents, and employees.
Robin has worked in hospitals, day treatment centers, shelters, outpatient clinics, and private practice. She co-founded a nonprofit that helps parents of young people with mental health conditions and facilitates a virtual parenting group for parents of teenagers.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys exercise, music, the outdoors, travel, and spending time with her husband, two adult children, and dogs. She is a long-time sports fan and supports her local teams.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Robin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns that fuel strong reactions and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it can help with workplace frustration, relationship tension, and persistent worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and help with sleep, impulsivity, and momentary overwhelm.She also practices a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you try methods and then adjust based on what fits your needs and day-to-day life.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around busy days, fit short check-ins into a lunch break, or avoid travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to quieter, longer conversations while others work well as brief skill-practice between sessions; Robin uses that flexibility to match how often and how long sessions best fit into your routine.
