About Robin
Robin Livingston-Richter is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She works with adults, young adults, teenagers, and parents on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, addiction concerns, ADHD, relationship and family issues, and related concerns like body image and codependency.
Robin has worked in hospitals, day treatment centers, shelters, outpatient clinics, and private practice. That range has exposed her to many different life situations and practical problems. She draws on that variety when talking through current struggles and everyday challenges.
Her approach is straightforward and solution-oriented. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to look at thought and behavior patterns. She also teaches mindfulness and intentional living practices that are simple to use between sessions.
Robin also works as an ADHD Life Coach, teaching strategies aimed at improving organization, time management, and task follow-through for students, parents, and employees. She runs a virtual parenting group for parents of teenagers through a nonprofit she helped found called Mental Health Navigators.
She earned her graduate degree from the University of Minnesota in 1993 and lives in Minnesota. Outside of work she exercises, listens to music, spends time outdoors, travels, and follows local sports with her husband, two adult children, and her dogs.
How sessions work
How Robin blends approaches in online sessions
Robin uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and to build practical skills for change. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.She also teaches mindfulness and intentional living practices. These are brief exercises and habits to reduce reactivity, increase focus, and help people notice choices in stressful moments. Mindfulness often pairs well with CBT work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robin will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change.
