About Kara
Dr. Kara Richardson-Cline is a Minnesota psychologist with eight years of experience. She holds the credential MN Psychologist LP5835 and works with people on common life struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, depression, ADHD, and addictions. She names money and financial issues among areas she addresses. Her style is straightforward and goal-focused.
Dr. Richardson-Cline blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She leans on client-centered conversations to understand goals and attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to try new thinking and behavior habits. She also offers mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy when those fit a person’s goals.
Her background includes training at the University of North Dakota where she completed graduate degrees and additional work in rural psychology. She has experience in medical settings and has supervised other mental health providers, which informs her practical approach to care.
In sessions she focuses on what the person wants to change. That may mean making a plan for managing anxiety, improving sleep routines, facing addictive behaviors, or addressing stress around work and money. She emphasizes simple, concrete steps and regular check-ins on progress.
Outside of work she enjoys time with family and her two dogs, who sometimes appear during video meetings. She supports international clients and uses online work to help people fit therapy into busy lives.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how people react and connect with others. Online sessions can help surface these patterns and practice different ways of relating in real time. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your goals; sessions center on what matters most to the person and move at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to money.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether the focus is more attachment, CBT, mindfulness, or a mix of methods, and adjustments are made as progress and needs evolve.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to keep momentum between sessions and practice skills in everyday situations.
