About Robin
Robin Livingston-Richter is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and eating and body image issues. Robin offers practical support for parents and individuals navigating parenting challenges and life changes.
Robin draws on straightforward, goal-focused methods. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. She teaches mindfulness and intentional living skills to calm the mind and improve daily routines.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in hospitals, day treatment centers, shelters, outpatient clinics, and independent practice. That range gives her insight into different life situations and common barriers people face when seeking help. She also co-founded a nonprofit that supports parents of children with mental health conditions and runs a virtual parenting group for parents of teenagers.
Sessions are practical and solution-oriented. Robin helps clients build routines, coping skills, and problem-solving steps they can use between meetings. She also offers coaching-style support for people working on school, work, or organization goals.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys exercise, music, time outdoors, travel, and sports. She lives in Minnesota with her husband, two adult children, and her dogs and brings a down-to-earth approach to sessions.
Practical approaches for online care and anxiety
Robin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot patterns of thought that increase anxiety and then test and change those thoughts with specific behavioral steps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry, improve sleep, and handle strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so sessions stay focused on tangible progress and everyday skills.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow more face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use short notes between appointments for brief updates or coaching-style support. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy schedules or life transitions.
