About Robin
Robin Livingston-Richter is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than 25 years of practice. She offers a calm, validating presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Robin often helps with stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and life transitions.
She has worked in hospitals, day treatment centers, shelters, outpatient clinics, and private practice. That range of settings shaped a straightforward, solution-oriented style. Sessions emphasize clear strategies, skills practice, and small changes that build over time.
Robin draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting stuck. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to identify strengths and to map small, achievable goals.
She also offers coaching strategies used with people managing ADHD challenges, students, parents, and employees who need structure and planning tools. Robin co-founded a nonprofit called Mental Health Navigators and facilitates a virtual parenting group for parents of teenagers through that work.
Based in Minnesota, Robin brings long experience and practical tools. Outside of work she enjoys exercise, music, the outdoors, travel, and cheering for local sports teams with her husband, two adult children, and dogs.
Approaches that support change online
Robin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try out different strategies. CBT is practical and often focused on changing routines that affect sleep, mood, and daily functioning.She also brings mindfulness therapy into sessions to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps people notice stress and sleep-related tension without getting swept up by it. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are woven in to highlight strengths and set small, concrete goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Robin works with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what doesn’t.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain regular check-ins. Online sessions can also allow shorter focused meetings for skill practice or longer visits for deeper work, depending on what the therapist and client agree will be most useful.
