I don't think there is any sampradaya where Krishna is worshipped without His consort, but not all worship Radha-Krishna rather than Radha and Krishna. Slight but significant difference (especially when the emphasis is usually more on Radha than Krishna).

 

Anyway, even when worshipping Krishna alone in the temple, He still has his Srivatsava mark on His chest, showing that His consort is always in His heart...

 

There are also temples with Rukmini, Satyabhama and Krishna. In Sri Vaishnavism, Sridevi (Lakshmi) is the original guru who will help you reach Narayana/Govinda. She is the all-merciful Mother of us all, and wishes to help Her children attain Him.

 

In Gaudiya Vaishnavism, often people see Krishna in this role, as a means to achieve Radha's service. Does this answer your question?

Pardon, but that sounds like hearsay. Which Gaudiya Vaishnavas say that? In what books? Are there any specific quotes which endorse this?
