Using ACT-based, age-appropriate strategies, I help athletes build resilience, self-awareness, and transferable skills that support both performance and personal development.
Hi there, my name is Rio Lecointe and you may be my ideal client. What is that exactly? It is person or athlete who feels stuck—held back by self-doubt, perfectionism, or the pressure to succeed. They may struggle to open up about their thoughts, stay present during performance, or stay engaged when things get tough. They want to feel confident, balanced, and in control of their mindset. Their goal is to perform well while enjoying what they do—to reconnect with their motivation, values, and sense of purpose both in sport and everyday life. If that sounds like you, contact me so I can help you reach your ideal meaningful self.

I have a deep appreciation and passion for working with adults and children who have experienced trauma. I have a diverse range of skills and experience, such as cross-cultural psychology, immigration, self-esteem and neurodiversity, e.g., autism and ADHD. I walk with my clients through the darkness of their experience, holding the space with compassion, helping them understand their experiences better, make sense of them, accept their whole existence, and fully love and embrace themselves. I believe healing is a process in which both the therapist and the clients contribute and grow together.

I draw on psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches to explore how early experiences shape present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, alongside practical tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated by patterns that keep repeating despite your best efforts to change. Perhaps anxiety, low mood, or the impact of past experiences is affecting how you feel about yourself, your relationships, or your parenting. Many people come to therapy wanting to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface and to find ways of coping that actually help. Therapy can offer a space where you feel understood, not judged, and where change feels possible.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
