About Rene

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of mental health experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and concerns related to intellectual disability. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and make steady progress.

Rene draws on long experience helping people sort through conflict and emotional overwhelm. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then works with them to try practical changes. Sessions often include clear steps to manage intense feelings and improve everyday coping skills.

His background includes military service and work with service members and veterans who faced trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. That experience shapes a straightforward approach to stress and adjustment concerns. He values steady, predictable strategies that are easy to use between sessions.

Rene pays attention to how relationships and past disruptions affect current behavior. He helps people name triggers and rehearse different responses. For someone managing mood swings or low self-worth, he focuses on small, consistent practices that build confidence over time.

People meet him for practical problem solving and emotional support. He respects each person’s pace and choices while offering tools to reduce distress. To begin, he asks a few questions to match goals with workable steps and schedule options.

Step 3

How practical therapy techniques fit into online care

Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and steps. One common approach emphasizes concrete coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching short practices people can use during tense moments. Another approach addresses mood regulation, helping people track mood shifts and try small changes to daily routines that stabilize energy and emotions.

Choosing the right technique is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful and realistic for day-to-day life.

Because the biography does not list specific online session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in between other responsibilities. Online sessions can also allow shorter focused meetings when that format suits someone’s schedule or bandwidth. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so logistics match your needs.
