About Robin

Robin Livingston-Richter brings a client-centered, practical approach to therapy grounded in 25 years of clinical experience. As a LICSW, she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to eating, sleep, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across hospitals, day treatment programs, shelters, outpatient clinics, and independent practice, which informs a flexible, real-world style of support. Robin has a long history of working with teenagers, young adults, adults, and parents and is experienced with challenges such as ADHD, addictions, mood disorders, impulsivity, codependency, and life transitions.

She also attends to family of origin issues, parenting stresses, career questions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Outside of individual work she co-founded a nonprofit focused on guiding parents of young people with mental health conditions and facilitates a virtual parenting group for parents of teenagers.

Based in Minnesota, Robin emphasizes validating conversations, practical skills, and intentional living practices to help clients move toward clearer goals and daily routines that support wellbeing. She integrates teaching and coaching elements when appropriate to strengthen coping, organization, and life-management skills.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Robin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, ADHD-related challenges, and behavior change. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in daily life. These approaches are presented in accessible terms and tailored to the concerns a client brings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked previously to determine whether cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused steps, or a blend of methods will best support progress.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for working with Robin’s style. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction for skills coaching and interactive work, while phone sessions provide an alternative when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill prompts, or follow-up between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain consistent therapeutic momentum.
